The Embodiment of Love - 1 John 2:1-11

The Embodiment of Love - 1 John 2:1-11

In this short, yet powerful book written by the the disciple John, we can prepare to be challenged to live out our faith in obedience towards God and love for others. Throughout the chapters, he implores his readers to "walk in the light" in a world that is increasingly dark. We trust God will whisper to each of us as we spend some time examining His truth and study 1 John together.

Jesus as 'the Word':
Logos (John 1)

Jesus is the Logos:
He is God’s way of thinking
He is God’s purpose
He is God’s message to us
Sin -
- anything that falls short of God’s standard of how we ought to live
- an archery term meaning, ‘to miss the mark’
Propitiation -
atonement; appeasing the wrath of God, which means God’s wrath
is now satisfied and no longer upon us
Atonement denotes several ideas:
- a cleansing of the sinner
- a forgiveness of sins
- the removal of wrath
Whether we know God or not is evidenced by our obedience to His Word.
We cannot be obedient to follow the way of Jesus if we don’t know it.
Could it be the reason we don’t invest more into reading and knowing God’s Word is because we don’t want to be responsible for having to
follow it?
Jesus’s end goal for you, as one of His followers, is for you to become
the embodiment of His love.
Training vs Trying

Stop trying harder and learn to train to be like Jesus.
The Practices of Jesus:
Sabbath, Solitude, Prayer, Fasting, Scripture, Generosity, Community, Service, Witness
