1 John 2:20-21

God does all the heavy lifting in our relationship with Him. He sent Jesus to save us. He gives us the faith to believe.

When we do, God saves us, sets us apart, helps us grow, and rewards our surrender with an inheritance that never fades.

In this plan we will undertake a study of the book of 1 John, in the New Testament. The book of 1 John is the first of three books, written by John the elder to house church believers.
