Get the appPeople of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 3:11-24Sample
John keeps bringing us back to what distinguishes a person of light and life from darkness and death. Remember that his whole letter is predicated on certain people claiming to be spiritual who in fact have wandered away from the Jesus basics. They are claiming new revelations that put their attitudes and actions at odds with the way of Jesus himself. Here John reminds us to cling to Jesus’s message from the beginning. People of light and life love like Jesus, even if they’re hated by the world. They believe in Jesus as the Christ and God’s son, and they obey him. People of darkness and death don’t.

About this Plan
Near the end of his life, John, the last living apostle, wrote a Gospel. And it seems some people were distorting it. John writes to believers caught in the aftermath, bringing clarity and commentary on what he wrote. He shows them what it looks like to be people of light and life instead of people of death and darkness. This plan takes us through 1 John and how to live in the face of distorted Christianity.
