Thola i AppPeople of Light, People of Darkness: The Last Apostle | 1 John 1:1-4Isampula
Christians struggle. In the church, some don’t conform to the way of Christ in their actions or beliefs. They corrupt the church. Then some break away under a banner of “enlightened truth, “a better way,” “Spirit-filled,” or any number of other spiritual-sounding clichés to justify their actions. They can have a lot of pull on those they leave behind. Then there’s the world, the external forces seeking to entice, intimidate, mock, or tempt us to conform to an alternate way of life and worldview. This is the situation John writes into. This is the church today. Read 1 John. Try to do it in one sitting. Get a sense of the struggle these early Christians had. How do you face the same challenges today?

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.
