We start a new book today and so let's watch a quick overview of 1 John by the amazing people at The Bible Project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3QkE6nKylM
John 1:1-4
In 1st John we are going to examine,
What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?
So ASK…What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?
Background information:
Who wrote this letter? John the disciple of Jesus, James brother the sons of Zebedee, a fisherman, one of the 3 closest to Jesus, and the disciple who witnessed Jesus' crucifixion. And an Apostle. And as far as we know the only Apostle to die of natural causes rather than martyred for his faith.
John wrote other books of the Bible? What are they?
John is writing this to 2nd and 3rd generation believers and probably some 4th generation toddlers. It may be hard to conceive of the fact that first century Christianity was going through some major issues that was causing these 2nd and 3rd generation Christians to falter in their faith. So John is writing to encourage them through his first hand knowledge of who Jesus is, and all He has done for us.
There are 3 things John wants for every believer in Jesus Christ.
- True teaching, (true understanding)
- True living, (we obey God’s commands)
- True loving, (we love others because we are loved by God, because God is love)
