Verse of the Day

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Notes on John 2-3:15

John 2:13-18
1 Corinthians 6:9-
Don't put yourself in situations where you are tempted to indulge in sexual immorality
Parallel between 2 John and 1 Corinthians 6 - your body is the temple. Jesus is cleaning the temple in John.YOU are in the temple. What is in YOUR temple that Jesus needs to be cleaned?

God's grace is bigger than your sin
You don't have enough will power to keep yourself from sinning
If you feel like you can lose your salvation, that means you're currently trying to keep it now on your own strength and think you're doing a good job
John 2:23-24 Parallel to
Genesis 22 - jahova jira my provider,  believing God for a sacrificial lamb for atonement, not to give people materialistic gain.
Jesus in these verses was talking about the kinds of people we see today. People who can quote scripture back and forth  and very religious, but couldn't tell you if there is a Trinity, who's in the Trinity, what's the gospel, etc. Jesus says he has turned himself from these people because these people only trusted in God and did good things for miracles
Nicodemus is NOT dumb. This (john 3) is a new saying that jews have not heard before. He was genuinely baffled for a man can't be physically born again.
