La victoria de Dios sobre el mundo, el pecado y la muerte es la fuente y la base de nuestra confianza y seguridad. Debido a que estamos en el Hijo, se nos ha dado vida eterna, la vida misma de Dios que fluye por las venas de su Hijo. Este es el mayor tesoro de todos. Teniendo a Cristo, lo tenemos todo. Él es el Dios verdadero y la vida eterna. El verdadero amor de Dios les dice a los suyos que son amados por siempre, seguros y vivos para siempre en Cristo.

True Love Tells ::: Us Doubtlessly, And Unequivocally That We Are Eternally Secure In Christ
God’s victory over the world, sin, and death is the source and ground of our confidence and security. Because we are in the Son, we have been given eternal life, the very life of God flowing through the veins of his Son. This is the greatest treasure of them all. Having Christ, we have everything. He is the true God and eternal life. God’s true love tells his own that they are forever loved, forever safe and alive in Christ.
True Love Tells ::: Us How To Discern The True Life Of God
Not everything that shines is gold, this saying captures the possibility of being deceived by the appearance of things. In the spiritual realm the potential for deception and distractions is an ever-present reality that loving discernment must discern both in matters of faith and practice. Thankfully, the revelation of God through Jesus Christ in the gospel is clear as day and available to all so that we may have a point of reference to keep us tethered to the life of God come what may. It is in the security of God’s love and the love of his people that all fears can be cast away and experience the freedom of living under God’s perfect love.
El Verdadero Amor dice ::: Como Discernir la Verdadera Vida de Dios
No todo lo que brilla es oro, este dicho capta la posibilidad de dejarse engañar por la apariencia de las cosas. En el ámbito espiritual, el potencial de engaño y distracciones es una realidad siempre presente que el discernimiento amoroso debe discernir tanto en cuestiones de fe como de práctica. Afortunadamente, la revelación de Dios a través de Jesucristo en el evangelio es clara como el día y está disponible para todos, de modo que podamos tener un punto de referencia que nos mantenga atados a la vida de Dios pase lo que pase. Es en la seguridad del amor de Dios y el amor de su pueblo que todos los temores pueden ser desechados y experimentar la libertad de vivir bajo el amor perfecto de Dios.
El Verdadero Amor dice ::: No Solo El Que Sino El Como
El amor no sólo habla lo que se habla, sino que también debe seguir el camino. En este pasaje, Juan muestra que demostramos la eficacia del mensaje de Dios cuando nos amamos unos a otros con nuestras palabras demostradas en nuestras obras de cuidado mutuo y edificación, servicio sacrificial y generosidad. Todo esto sólo es posible porque Dios nos ha acogido en el tejido mismo de la efusión intratrinitaria de su presencia y de su amor.
True Love Tells ::: Not Just The What But The How
Love does not only talk the talk but must also walk the walk. In this passage, John shows that we demonstrate the effectiveness of God’s message when we love each other with our words demonstrated in our works of mutual care and edification, sacrificial service and generosity. All this is only possible because God has welcomed us into the very fabric of the intra-trinitarian outpouring of his presence and love.

Anxious-less Principle #3 ::: Don’t Confuse Your Self-Worth With Your Net-Worth
In the Bible, it is not wrong for us to own things but it is very wrong for things to own us. Oftentimes, in our cultural context, we compartmentalize the spiritual and the material in different spheres but in the biblical worldview, God demands our undivided devotion and affections. Money can be a touchy subject when we isolate this part of our life from our spiritual life. God reveals that, for him to be Lord, he must be Lord of all or not at all. We cannot serve God and money at the same time. When we don’t surrender our possessions to God, we end up surrendering our life to our possessions and in turn they end up becoming our god.
