(KJV) 1 John 3:18

 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

True love for God is expressed in our actions and is done for His sake. It is more than kind words and loving feelings; true love is shown through active compassion that meets real needs in tangible ways (1 John 3:17). Such actions show others what God’s love is like and will often open their hearts spiritually to consider accepting Christ as their personal Savior. Christians who truly want to reach others for Christ must realize that they may need to meet people’s physical needs before some will be open to receive help for their spiritual needs.

(KJV) 1 John 3:17

But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Love is expressed by sincerely helping people in need. One way to do this is to show compassion in tangible, material ways and includes sharing our earthly possessions with them (James 2:14-17). Refusing to help people who are genuinely in need of basic necessities such as food, clothing or money – when it is within our ability to help – is to close our hearts to them (Deuteronomy 15:7-11). This also includes giving our money to help bring Christ’s message to those who have not heard (1 John 4:9-10). Such gifts of love reflect “the love of God” (God’s kind of love) and are acts of ministry directly to Christ (Matthew 25:34-40).

(KJV) 1 John 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

This does not necessarily mean a physical sacrifice of one’s life (although that may be required at times to save another person; John 15:13). Rather, it means that we should be willing to put aside our own rights, interests and concerns for the sake and benefit of others, particularly to show God’s love to others, particularly to show God’s love to them and bring them closer to Christ (Romans 12:10; 1 Corinthians 10:24; Philippians 2:3; Philippians 2:5; Philippians 2:17-18).

(KJV) 1 John 3:15

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

All sin – great or small – is evidence of a corrupt human nature that, apart from God, would bring spiritual death and separation from God to all people. Yet, the Bible generally distinguishes between different kinds of sins, particularly as they relate to those who claim to know and follow Christ. These include unintentional sins (Leviticus 4:2, 3, 13, 22; 5:4-6; Numbers 15:31), less serious sins that do not lead to spiritual death (Matthew 5:19), and deliberate and intentional sins (1 John 5:16; 1 John 5:17), some of which lead to spiritual death (1 John 5:16). John emphasizes that there are certain sins that true born-again believers will not commit because of the eternal life of Christ at work within them (1 John 2:11, 15-16; 3:6-10, 14-15; 4:20; 5:2; 2 John 1:9). These sins, because of their seriousness and their origin in the very core of one’s spirit, indicate an intense rebellion against God. People who commit them prove that they are not in the right relationship with God or that they have separated themselves from life and spiritual salvation through Christ (Galatians 5:4). 

1. Examples of sins that prove that a person is still enslaved to their own God-defying way or that they have abandoned a personal relationship with God include: apostasy (spiritual rebellion and refusal to have faith in God; (1 John 2:19; 1 John 4:6; Hebrews 10:26-31), murder (1 John 3:15; 2:11), sexual impurity or immorality (Romans 1:21-27; 1 Corinthians 5; Ephesians 5:5; Revelation 21:8), abandonment of one’ family (1 Timothy 5:8), leading others into sin (Matthew 18:6-10), cruelty (Matthew 24:48-51) and a practice of dishonesty and lying (Deuteronomy 25:16; Proverbs 6:17; John 8:44; Acts 5:3; 22:15). These detestable sins reveal defiance and dishonor toward God and a lack of godly care and respect for others (1 John 2:9-10; 3:6-10; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Thessalonians 4:5; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Hebrews 3:7-19). For this reason, anyone who claims to be Jesus’ friend with the Holy Spirit living within him or her, yet willingly participates in the above-mentioned sins, is deceiving himself or herself and “is a liar, and the truth is not in him” (1 John 2:4; 1 John 1:6; 1 John 3:7-8).
2. Believers must keep in mind, however, that all sin – even the less serious ones – if not repented of, can lead to a weakening of spiritual life, to a rejection of the Holy Spirit’s leading and finally to spiritual death and eternal separation from God (Romans 6:15-23; 8:5-13). Also, those who are guilty of serious sins that have cut them off from God can be restored to a relationship if they truly repent (admit their sin, turn from their own God-defying way, surrender to God and follow His purposes) and abandon their sin (1 John 1:9). This does not, however, guarantee freedom from the temporary, earthly consequences of the sin (2 Samuel 12:10-15).

(KJV) 1 John 3:10

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

This is the heart and conclusion of John’s teaching in 1 John 2:28 – 3:10. He has warned these troubled believers not to be deceived about the nature of true salvation and a personal relationship with God (1 John 3:7). This means that true believers must reject any belief or teaching that claims that we can be out of fellowship with God (1 John 1:3), continue to sin, do the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), love the world (1 John 2:15), do harm to others (1 John 3:14-18) and yet be children of God who are spiritually saved and destined for heaven.

Contrary to this false teaching, John clearly states that anyone who continues to defy God and His standards (1 John 3:9) “is of the devil” (1 John 3:8) and “is not a child of God.” They are liars (1 John 2:4). True children of God are characterized by a love for God that is shown by following His commands (1 John 5:2) and showing true concern for the spiritual and physical needs of others (1 John 3:16-17).

(KJV) 1 John 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

The verb “to sin” (Greek hamartano) is a present active infinitive, implying continued or present active infinitive, implying continued or persistent action. John emphasizes that those who truly are God’s children cannot make sin their way of life because God’s life cannot exist in those who make a practice or habit of sinning (1 John 1:5-7; 2:3-11, 15-17, 24-29; 3:6-24; 4:7-8, 20).

1. Spiritual birth produces renewed spiritual life that results in a new and ongoing relationship with God. In this letter, every time John speaks of the new birth of the believer, he uses the Greek perfect tense to emphasize the continued and sustained relationship that started when a person first received Christ and entrusted his or her life to the Lord (1 John 2:39; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18).
2. It is impossible for people who have God’s life in them (who are “born of God”) to continue in the habit of sinning; it is a spiritual contradiction. The Holy Spirit cannot remain in a life that is full of sin, and God cannot have a covenant relationship with any who continue to “walk in the darkness” (1 John 1:7). Believers may occasionally lapse from God’s holy standard, but they will not deliberately continue in sin as a lifestyle (1 John 3:6; 1 John 3:10).
3. That which keeps Christ’s faithful followers from willfully and continually sinning is “God’s seed” in them (God’s very life, Spirit and nature living in them, 1 John 5:11-12; John 15:4; 2 Peter 1:4).
4. By an active faith in God (1 John 5:4), the inner presence of Christ, the guiding power of the Holy Spirit and the written Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:10), all Christians can live consistently free from the life-entangling power of sin.

(KJV) 1 John 3:6

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

The words “lives in him” and “born of God” (1 John 3:9) are equivalent expressions. Only those who continue to live in a right relationship with God continue to be born of God (His children John 15:4; Romans 8:1).

The verbs “seen” and “known” are in the perfect tense (the Greek perfect tense refers to action that occurred in the past with results continuing to the present moment). John is saying that no one who is living in sin – deliberately defying God and His standards – has seen (and continues to see) God, nor has he known (and continues to know) Him. This can apply either to those who have never had real faith in Christ or to those who knew God in the past but have not continued knowing Him in the present.

(KJV) 1 John 3:3

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Those who truly have the hope of spending eternity with Christ will be faithful to their relationship with Him by avoiding anything that offends God and by keeping themselves spiritually pure (2 Corinthians 7:1).
