God's Plan For Man html

love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who do e s t he wi l l o f God l i v e s f o r e v e r . ” “Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many an t i chr i s t s hav e c ome . This is how we know it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.” “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.
