This is basically the conclusion of the letter John has written. Much of the same material we have read before comes out again. We have eternal life - God hears us when we pray. One of the things I have been struggling with recently is the "according to His will" part. This is an ongoing struggle in my life and mind for years now. How do you read it? What do that mean to you?
Some of us run to "what is the will of God?" and others of us use it as an easy answer when things don't go our way. Have you ever had something you really wanted not happen? Did you pray about it? Did it comfort you to know it "wasn't in His will?" I don't know that it helps that much. However, I do know that those who have a close relationship with God (see earlier posts) have a better sense of understanding these things. We should be chasing after this - and let the rest just happen. How great would it be to pray and know what God wants to do? (btw - come to Districts this year cause we are talking about this stuff)? I want that - so I am chasing after God in this amazing relationship with Him.
Oh, and keep yourselves from idols. This seems an odd ending, don't you think?
