2 John 4-6
We must walk in truth and walk according to His commandments. The Word of God is meant for doing and not just knowing.
“If we say” [1 John 1,6,8,10] but do not obey, we are hypocrites.
Activities of Satan
Takes away the Word from the heart – Luke 8:12
Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
Do miracles to deceive – 2 Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
Deuteronomy 11:19
“Teach them [God's commandments] to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
Moses gives us three crucial messages about God's commandments. First, as parents, it is our responsibility to teach them to our children — not the responsibility of the government, or of the schools, nor even our churches.
Second, we are to teach them in the everyday course of life as we go about our routines as a family.
Third, we are to teach them continuously by both our words and our lives as we raise our children.
Now we can look at this as a job, a burden, a heavy responsibility, or we can see it as an opportunity to shape a life for the future and partner with God in raising a child to be a person that will make an eternal difference for the Kingdom of God. What a joy to be a part of such a partnership!
