So, I saw this printed off and perched on the wall in the office at the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at the University, and thought it was pretty cool.... so I am sharing with you! This is from thegospelcoalition.org and was posted by Justin Taylor. Hope this gets you thinking! These "If then" statements are something that we need to be evaluating our lives against so that we can be walking as Christ walked.
The Real Bowman
“If . . Then” in 1 John
Posted By Justin Taylor On March 31, 2011
| IF . . . | THEN . . . | |
| 1:6 | we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness | we lie and do not practice the truth |
| 1:7 | we walk in the light, as he is in the light | we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin |
| 1:8 | we say we have no sin | we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us |
| 1:9 | we confess our sins, | he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness |
| 1:10 | we say we have not sinned | we make him a liar, and his word is not in us |
| 2:1 | anyone does sin | we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous |
| 2:3 | we keep his commandments | by this we know that we have come to know him |
| 2:15 | anyone loves the world | the love of the Father is not in him |
| 2:19 | they had been of us | they would have continued with us |
| 2:24 | what you heard from the beginning abides in you | you too will abide in the Son and in the Father |
| 2:29 | you know that he is righteous | you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. |
| 3:17 | anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him | how does God’s love abide in him? |
| 3:21 | our heart does not condemn us | we have confidence before God |
| 4:11 | God so loved us | we also ought to love one another |
| 4:12 | if we love one another | God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. |
| 4:20 | anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother | he is a liar |
| 5:9 | If we receive the testimony of men | the testimony of God is greater |
| 5:14 | if we ask anything according to his will | he hears us |
| 5:15 | if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask | we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him. |
| 5:16 | If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death | he shall ask, and God will give him life |
