Loving God and loving each other are the essentials of the Christian life, but sometimes it's hard to know how to do that practically. What happens when we have doubts about our motives? What happens when we have two different people telling us what to believe or do? Join us as we check out what John says to the brothers and sisters about protecting these essentials.

When we put our trust in Christ, God adopts us into His family. We get to enjoy the lavish love of God, a purifying hope, and start to take on the characteristics of our big brother Jesus. Children of God are committed to doing what is right and loving their brothers and sisters in Christ selflessly and sacrificially.

It's easy to claim you know and follow God, but not everyone who claims this is legit. So how can you know if you really do? You obey his commands, you love other believers sacrificially, and you stick with Jesus Christ all the way.

Sometimes Christians cop a hard time just because they're Christians. How are we to respond when we're snubbed or insulted or threatened or mistreated? 

The fear of missing out (FOMO) is one of the reasons people reject Christianity, and it’s one of the reasons Christians wonder whether they’d be better off without it. But God wants us to be in touch with the reality of spiritual things: His will is so wonderful, the gospel makes an incredible difference, and so we’re encouraged to stand firm following Jesus!
