    1 John 2:7-11 The Assurance Of Loving The Brethren

    1 John is a letter written so that believers might know with certainty they have eternal life (1 John 5:13). John offers clear evidence for us to examine our lives and confirm our salvation, while also revealing the false teaching of those who had left the church claiming to be the true Christians. Faced with these false teachers, John repeatedly applies three basic tests—doctrine, obedience, and love—to help us discern genuine faith. 1 John 2:7-11 focuses on the test of love for one another as the heart of the matter. John shows that love is both an old commandment rooted in God’s law and a new commandment fulfilled in Christ’s sacrificial example. Love is not merely something we try to do better, but a gospel reality already at work in every true believer (v. 8b-9), serving as clear evidence we are abiding in God’s light rather than walking in darkness. In verses 7-8, we see that love is both a command and a gospel reality. In verses 9-11, John explains that this love for the brethren is evidence that we abide in the light. John’s tests call us to honest self-examination—not to measure how perfectly we love, but to ask whether God has placed within us a genuine longing to love His people as Christ has loved us. If we are cold or indifferent to Jesus’ bride, the solution is not self-effort but turning afresh to Jesus in repentance and faith. More effort cannot fix a lack of love. Only the one who causes the darkness to pass away and the true light to shine in our hearts can do that. I. Love Is Both A Command & A Gospel Reality (v. 7-8) II. Love Is Evidence We Abide In The Light (v. 9-11)

    1 John 1:5-2:2 Walking In The Light

    As we continue our study through the book of 1 John, Sunday’s passage begins to unveil John’s evidences written to give believers God-ordained grounds for assurance of eternal life. After false teachers left the church and caused some to doubt the sufficiency of the gospel, John writes to show his readers the evidence of genuine salvation. Throughout the book, John will circle around three categories of evidence: (broadly stated) right doctrine, obedience, and love. In 1 John 1:5–2:2, having just said that the message of life gives fellowship with the Father and the Son, John explains what this fellowship looks like and what it does not. He calls this "walking in the light" (v. 7), but explains that it is not about doing better or being good, but acknowledging and confessing sin and trusting in Jesus, who is cleansing us from all sin (v. 7; 9). Christians only walk in the light (as John says) because of the transforming work God does in those He saves through the gospel. The main point is that fellowship with God results in a life of growing holiness, requires honest acknowledgment of our sin, and is possible only through Jesus Christ our advocate and propitiation. I. Fellowship With God Results In A Life Growing In Holiness (v. 5-7) II. Fellowship With God Requires Acknowledging Our Sin (v. 8-10) III. Fellowship With God Only Come Through Our Savior (2:1-2)

    1 John 1:1-4 The Only Word Of Life

    This Sunday, we are blessed to observe both the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper at the beginning of the 11:00 A.M. service. We are also beginning our study of the book of 1 John. This short book was written to give believers the God-ordained grounds of assurance. John’s first readers were being confused by false teachers who had separated from the church (1 John 2:19) and claimed to have the true knowledge of God and salvation (2:20-21). This led gospel believers to question their standing with God through Jesus. Throughout the book, John will provide tests by which the reader can "know they have eternal life" (5:13), which is the purpose of the book. Assurance is a wonderful blessing and a necessity for following Christ joyfully and faithfully, but assurance not based on God’s own word is presumption rather than real assurance. Only God’s word gives us the grounds of assurance to examine and know that we have eternal life. But before John launches into any tests of assurance, he immediately proclaims the identity of Jesus. Only the true Jesus, whom the apostles proclaimed, is able to save. If we are wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter what we are right about. If we are wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter how morally we live or what spiritual knowledge we have. Everything rests on this foundation: The Christ whom the apostles proclaim is fully God and fully man, and He is the only Word of Life and the only fellowship with God. I. Only the True Jesus Is The Word of Life (v. 1-2) II. Only the True Jesus Gives Fellowship with God (v. 3-4)
