In verses 14 and 15, we looked at murder and hatred. Today we ask the question: what exactly is this laying down of one's life?

In verse 13, we started exploring the concept of death. Now, we delve into the profound subject of murder. What does it truly mean to murder, and how does hatred play a role in this act? Join us as we unpack these complex questions.

Today we look at John's interesting expansion of the topic from just discussing Cain to one of the wider world, death and life.

We continue to examine how the order to 'love your brother' constrasts with the example of Cain and Abel. What does this sibling relationship demonstrate to us, and what does it imply about our positions as children of God?

This week we turn from the positive message about loving your brother to the (rather extreme) negative example: Cain. But why does John reach for this extreme example?

We look more closely at John's definitions of loving one another and loving God.

We begin to understand the connection between loving one another and loving God - and what the opposite might mean.

A breakthrough in our discussion of 1 John 3:7-10 as we come to grips with the meaning of John's convicting words.

We devote additional study to these important verses.

In this abbreviated study time, we spend more time focusing on 1 John 3:8&9.
