1 John 2:12 The reason of my writing is to remind you to live in the innocence of an infant! The name Jesus means that you can rest assured in your salvation from sin’s harassment! (Teknion, diminitive of teknon) 2:13 May my writing also remind you that your fatherhood has its authentic genesis in him who is from the beginning. (1 John 2:7,8; 5:20) And to you young men, I write to congratulate you for your victory over the 1exhausting system of hardships, annoyances and labor. You have discovered your strength in Christ’s achievement and not your own efforts! I wrote to you as children because you know the Father. (The word often translated evil, is 1poneros, which according to Thayer’s definition means to be full of labors, annoyances, hardships; to be pressed and harassed by labors. This is so typical of the religious system of a works-based self-righteousness, as opposed to faith righteousness. This is the fruit of the I am not-tree-system. The young men who become weary and exhausted under the system of hardships and labor; the law of works, have discovered their eagle wings in Kawa-mode; where God’s thoughts entwine with their thoughts, and his strentgh ignites within. Isa 40:31) 2:14 What I have written previously will resonate with the fathers whose aquaintance with him is established in the prophetic voice 1from the beginning. Also the young men will find their strength endorsed in my writing, since they have the word firmly rooted within them as their permanent source and reference. They have defeated the duty-and guilt-driven system that snared them before in the futility of their own efforts. (The word 1arche, means to be first in order, time, place or rank. 2:15 The Father’s love does not compete with anything the world-system has to offer! The mere cosmetic attraction of the world-system is surface and external; the Father’s love is from within. Do not be lured into an emptiness where romance seems lost! mirror
