Excerpt from The First Epistle of John, Vol. 2: Expounded in a Series of Lectures
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. - 1 john iii. 10-12.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book elucidates the profound connection between righteous deeds and brotherly love, as revealed in the First Epistle of John. The author delves into the contrast between the righteous Father and the devil, emphasizing that true divine lineage manifests in acts of righteousness and compassionate love. Conversely, the absence of these traits indicates a spiritual affinity with the adversary. The book explores the real-life examples of Cain and Abel, as well as Jesus and his persecutors, to illustrate the sharp divide between the children of God and the children of the devil. It underscores the idea that doing righteousness is synonymous with being of God, and that such individuals naturally exhibit brotherly love, just as Abel did towards Cain. The author emphasizes that loving in deed and truth is essential for a clear conscience and a strong faith. When our hearts do not condemn us, we can confidently approach God, who knows all things. The book delves into the significance of this principle, both in receiving God's love and in living it out in relationships with others. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of true righteousness and brotherly love, offering a deeper understanding of our spiritual heritage and responsibilities.
