The goal of discipleship is to be like Jesus. That's the message John has for the church in 1 John 2:6. It's one thing to claim to follow God, but if we're sincere in our devotion, we'll follow through with obedience.
Living Like Jesus

Victory in Jesus
March 6, 2022 • Bryan Fojtasek • 1 John 5:1–5
Everyone who is born of God will find victory in the world. That's the inspiring promise God gives us at the end of 1 John. Being born of God is the language of new life that we experience through baptism, and it opens the door to hope and joy in our future.
God is Love
February 27, 2022 • Jeremy Grimes • 1 John 4
God is Love. That's the key truth from 1 John 4. God's very nature is defined by love, and he has expressed that most clearly in his decision to send Jesus to die for the sins of the world. He took the first step to demonstrate that love with no guarantee that people would respond to him. That kind of "reckless love" should motivate us to love God, love our neighbors, and invite people to experience the saving grace of Jesus personally.
