Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 John 3:16

DISCOURSE: 2448THE LOVE OF CHRIST A PATTERN FOR US, TO EACH OTHER1 John 3:16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.IN contemplating Christianity as a system, we scarcely know whether to admire more, the depth of its mysteries, or the height of its requirements. Of all mysteries, that specified in our text, the death of our incarnate God for the sins of men, is beyond all comparison the greatest: and, of all... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 John 3:17

DISCOURSE: 2449NO LOVE TO GOD WITHOUT LOVE TO MAN1 John 3:17. Whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?UNDER the law there were two great commandments: the first was, to love God with all our heart, and mind, and soul, and strength, and the second was, to love our neighbour as ourselves. And under the Gospel they are still in force, or rather, I should say, are enjoined more emphatically... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 John 3:20-21

DISCOURSE: 2450A GOOD AND EVIL CONSCIENCE1 John 3:20-21. If our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.IN the description given us of the day of judgment, we are informed that the Judge will be seated on his throne; that certain books will be opened; and that sentence will be passed on every one according to what was recorded in them [Note: Revelation 20:12.]. Such a tribunal there is,... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 John 3:23

DISCOURSE: 2451FAITH IN CHRIST ENJOINED1 John 3:23. This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ.SOME Christians, from a mistaken zeal for the Gospel, are ready to associate the idea of legality with the very mention of the term “commandment;” forgetting that the commandments, if obeyed from love, are of the very essence of the Gospel; obedience to them being its necessary fruit, its appropriate end, its highest glory. St. John had as ardent a love to the... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 John 3:24

DISCOURSE: 2452THE MUTUAL IN-DWELLING OF GOD AND HIS PEOPLE1 John 3:24. He that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.THERE is, in the Epistles of St. John, a most remarkable simplicity, insomuch that he seems to speak truths level with the comprehension of a little child: yet is there in him a vast profundity of sentiment, which no common mind can fathom. Not that he establishes his points by... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - 1 John 3:7

righteousness "Righteousness" here, and in the passages having marginal references to this, means the righteous life which is the result of salvation through Christ. The righteous man under law became righteous by doing righteously; under grace he does righteously because he has been made righteous Romans 3:22. (See Scofield "Romans 3:22- :") read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 1 John 3:1-10

Exposition: 1 John 3:1-10 "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." As dear Dr. Hawker said concerning this, there is a chapter in every word and a sermon in every letter. How it opens with a... read more
