The gospel does not merely offer forgiveness to sinners. The gospel transforms them in to people who love one another.
In this last hour, God’s children are to abide in Christ, resist the devil’s lies, and walk in righteousness as we await the return of Christ.
And by way of summary of the entire letter, what is it in a counterfeit Christian that is illuminated by the Light according to the entire letter of 1 John? Failure.
1. A failure to acknowledge and agree with God about their sin (confess)
2. A failure to remain in fellowship with God and His people leading to rejection of the truth about Jesus the Messiah
3. A failure to grow in righteousness by continually practicing lawlessness
4. A failure to grow in love for the brothers and sisters in Christ
5. A failure to grow in rejecting the loves of the world and its characteristic sin
The last two will be in focus this morning as we walk through 1 John 2:7-17 which has the main idea: Prove genuine through growth in love for God’s eternal people and in rejection for the love of the temporal world.
We continue our series in 1 John by looking at 1 John 1:5–2:6. In this passage, John reminds us that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. That truth exposes both our sin and our need, but it also leads us to the hope of the gospel: when we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us through Jesus Christ our Advocate.
Join us as we consider what it means to walk in the light, live honestly before God, and rest in the finished work of Christ.
What do you do when people drift, churches are unsettled, and doubt begins to creep in? In 1 John 1:1–4, the Apostle John reminds believers that we do not need something new. We need the Christ the apostles proclaimed. Jesus is the Word of Life, eternal life revealed in the flesh, and through Him we are brought into fellowship with the Father and with His people.
In this sermon, we see that life is not something we discover on our own or achieve by our own effort. Eternal life is found only in Jesus Christ. John writes as an eyewitness, declaring what he has heard, seen, and touched, so that the church may have true fellowship and full joy.
This message calls us to come to Christ for the life we cannot find on our own, pursue fellowship with Christ and His church as the path to joy, and proclaim Christ so others may share in that same joy.
