“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that our joy may be full … These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1Jo 1:3-4; 1Jo 5:13 (emphasis added)
This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistle of First John.

Ezekiel #15
Spiritual vacuum of the soul (Eph 4:17-24). Discipleship happens in personal relationships (Mar 3:14). Sodomites were prosperous, idol, greedy and spiritually deprave -- persuing things they think would make them happy (Eke 16:49). If you reject Christ you'll accept another; if you reject the Truth you'll accept falsehood (Joh 5:43, 2Th 2:9, 2Ti 4:2-4). Warning to God's people for seeking satisfaction elsewhere (Jer 2:13, Jer 2:21-24). In Ezekiel 16, God calls His people an abomination nine times - loathsome or dispicable. Harlotry in the spiritual sense means preoccupation with things other than God (Jam 4:1-4).
