Walk in the Light

If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.—1 John 1:7

If the way ahead sometimes seems dark, you will be encouraged by this month’s study of 1, 2, and 3 John. The apostle John’s message is filled with life and hope. If I were to choose a favorite phrase, though, it would be this: “The darkness is passing and the true light is already shining” (1 John 2:8).

No matter what we are facing, no matter what we read in the headlines, the Light has dawned, the Son has risen, and the Day is coming! As we study together this month, I pray you will:

• Live out your salvation through love in action
• Discern and resist worldly temptations and false teaching
• Understand the connections between love and obedience
