Statement:
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:13-16 KJVExposition:
This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s given us life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.
1 John 4:13-16 MSG

Amen!
"Whoever confesses Jesus is the Son of God..." Am I wrong in thinking this is becoming more and more unusual in the church?
Thank you, Linda.
TB, I don't think we can truly know the answer to that question. But the Bible says we can expect that to be the case in the last days ... and I think it's pretty obvious those days are nearly upon us.
