About John's Letters: Discipleship Lessons from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John

First, Second, and Third John, sometimes called the Epistles or Letters of John, are like trail mix -- concentrated, chewy, and nutritious. As I teach God's Word, I find myself returning again and again to First John. When John writes these letters he is an elderly man. When he was young, he was Jesus'"beloved disciple."Now, when he is old, he is passing on the faith he learned at Jesus'feet. He writes with great affection, but that doesn't mean he is soft. In these letters he: Refutes enemies of Christ who are spreading false and dangerous doctrine. Challenges believers to reject darkness and live in the light. Calls for righteous living and assures believers of the forgiveness of God. Proclaims love as the greatest commandment of Christ our Lord Jesus Christ. These letters pack a punch to their first century readers as well as to readers in the twenty-first century.

2nd and 3rd John follow epistle or letter formats. 2 John is to encourage love and warn of false teachers, antichrists, who teach that Jesus isn't God in the flesh. They aren't to welcome or show hospitality to the false prophets. 3 John encourages Gaius to show hospitality to Demetrius, a Christian missionary, and not to follow the example of self-centered leader Diotrephes.

6. God Is Love (1 John 4:1-21)

John warns his readers to be alert for the heresy that Jesus isn't Christ in the flesh - the spirit of antichrist. He encourages them that the Spirit in them is greater. He concludes with the message that God is love. God desires this love to be perfected in us and take away our fear of judgment.

5. Love in Action (1 John 3:11-24)

John discusses hatred and jealousy of Cain for Abel to illustrate the world's persecution of believers. True love requires us to lay down our lives for the brethren in acts of compassion. By this we have assurance of answered prayer through the Spirit.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
