The
Will of the God is . . .If
you are not a disciple of Jesus He desires to forgive
you of your sins and to have you eventually live with
Him forever. In 1 John 3:23 He expresses this desire
as a command. Sometimes we need a command to understand
the serious situation we are in - I know I do. What this
really means is that you have a responsibility.
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. (NASB) 1 John 3:23
The
command is very obvious - believe
in the name of Jesus. If you do believe, your heart
will be alive with the life of God ( John
7:38-39).
You will know that you belong to Jesus because 1 John
5:10 says,
He
who believes in the Son of God has the witness
in himself; he who does not believe God has
made Him a liar, because he has not believed
the testimony that God has given of His Son.
If
you do not believe, you have called God a liar because
He is claiming that Jesus is God and that He died for
your sins and you have denied His claim.
