Apply

1. This passage reveals the deception involved in Satan's plan to disrupt the worship rightfully belonging to God. As we consider our own lives, we realize that we are being constantly bombarded with the temptation to worship things other than God.

2. What idols have you set up in your life that distract you from worship? What competes with God for your attention and affection? If you could have one thing to make your life better, what would it be?

3. What is one practical step that you can take to cultivate your affection for God?

4. Prayerfully determine the main biblical truth or principle that God revealed to you during your study. A few questions to ask are: Is there a promise for me to claim? Is there a truth for me to believe? Is there a command for me to obey?

5. Memorize: 1 John 4:4-6
