eBook - Explore the Bible: 1 John - Bible Study Book

1 John Bible Study Book offers a six-session study that will equip you and/or your group members to discern between truth and error, light and darkness, and assurance and doubt.

In an age of sinful pleasures, as well as sophisticated justifications for indulging those pleasures, 1 John commends a living, practical faith that strengthens followers of Jesus Christ to overcome temptation by love—love for God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and love for neighbors.

In this letter, the "beloved disciple" John provides definition and practical clarity about love, faith, and truth, having received his understanding directly from the Word of life Himself. Rather than seeking novelty, John challenges his readers to trust the same message we’ve heard from the beginning. 1 John explores this message and helps us apply its truths to our lives in a way that bolsters our trust and joy in the God who is Spirit, light, and love.
