People of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 3:11-24

DAY 4 OF 5

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.
