Based on 1 John 2:12-14 I am writing to you who are God’s children             Because through Jesus your sins have been forgiven I am writing to you who are mature in the faith          Because you know Him who existed from the beginning I am writing to you who are young in the faith          Because you have won, the evil one has been beaten I am writing to you who are God’s children          Because you know the Father who art in heaven I am writing to you who are mature in the faith          Because you know Him who existed from the beginning I am writing to you who are young in the faith          Because through Christ your strength is inhuman The words of God indwells in your hearts          And you have won; the evil one has been beaten
