Get the appPeople of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 3:11-24Sample
How do we know if we’re people of darkness and death or people of light and life? John’s been saying we can take a look at whether we obey God and love others. That can be a hard order to fill. As John would tell us, anyone with honest insight into their own soul knows they don’t obey or love enough (1 John 1:8-9). So, he reminds us. Don’t look to yourself to somehow win light and life. Our hearts will condemn us. Don’t look inward. Look outward. Trust in Christ, not yourself. Leaning into the promises of God hard-won through Jesus’s death and resurrection is far more potent than trusting in your own goodness.

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.
