Get the appPeople of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 5:1-12Sample
Here’s some other thoughts in this passage. We love others by loving God (1 John 5:2). Or at least we know we love others by doing what God tells us to do. Because at some level, every command God gives is meant to foster love towards him or love towards others. Some people struggle to love God more than people. But if you struggle to love people more than God, try this. Out of love for God, put into action the things he asks you to do. By showing this love for him, it will inevitably bless the other people God loves too.
About this Plan
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.
