1 John 1

Jun 1, 2025    Jim DelMonte

In this teaching, we delve into the foundational truths of our faith. The apostle John, an eyewitness to Christ's ministry, emphasizes the reality of God's incarnation in Jesus. This challenges the Gnostic heresy that denied Christ's physical existence. We're reminded that God is light, without any darkness, and that true fellowship with Him requires us to walk in that light. The chapter beautifully balances the reality of our ongoing struggle with sin and God's incredible promise of forgiveness. When we humbly confess our sins, God is 'faithful and just to forgive us.' This message encourages us to approach God with confidence, knowing that His love and forgiveness are not based on our perfection, but on His faithfulness. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can walk more fully in God's light and experience the joy of genuine fellowship with Him and fellow believers.
