Les mer 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.

8. Walking in Love (2 and 3 John)

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.

7. God's Testimony Regarding Jesus (1 John 5:1-21)

John explains that if we love God we will obey Jesus. We have overcome and achieved victory over the world through our faith. The Spirit, water, and blood are witnesses to God's incarnation in Jesus Christ. The Spirit also testifies in our hearts to give us assurance.

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.
