Get the appPeople of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 5:1-12Sample
Here’s another. God’s commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3-4). Except that sometimes they seem to be. Sometimes God’s commands do feel like a burden. I think it comes from fear. We’re afraid to obey God because of what we think it will cost us or what we fear we will lose. That’s the world flexing. But when we realize that nothing in the world compares to God, and there’s nothing in the world strong enough to overcome the power of God, it changes things. That victory can propel us to obey him in anything. Even when we don’t believe it!
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.
