1 Yúhanná 2:20

God does all the heavy lifting in our relationship with Him. He sent Jesus to save us. He gives us the faith to believe.

When we do, God saves us, sets us apart, helps us grow, and rewards our surrender with an inheritance that never fades.

In this plan we will undertake a study of the book of 1 John, in the New Testament. The book of 1 John is the first of three books, written by John the elder to house church believers.

1 John is one of three letters written by John the Beloved, the same author as the Gospel of John and Revelation. Written as a response to false teaching in the church, John reminds his readers that just as God is both love and light, true believers are to show love and light to the world.
