Subscribe to our YouTube channel to grow in your everyday relationship with Jesus. Who is John? John was a man TRANSFORMED by the catalytic LOVE of Christ, and he wants US to be transformed too. 1 John 4:19 ESV 1 John 1:1-10 ESV Why does he write this letter? 4 reasons: 1. So that our joy may be complete (or full) - 1 John 1:4 ESV 2. So that you may not sin (warning of habitual sin) - 1 John 2:1 ESV 3. About those who are trying to deceive you (to warn against heresy) - 1 John 2:26 ESV 4. That you may know that you have eternal life (to encourage eternal security) - 1 John 5:13 ESV “A church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed—what gospel is that?” ― Oscar Romero, The Violence of Love John’s Letter is a tuning fork to check our harmony and correct with VIOLENT LOVE any drift we may have embraced. “The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” ― Brennan Manning 1 John 1:9 ESV Check out our website for more information on where we are located, times of service, and resources. https://newspring.cc/locations If you want to be a part of helping us make a global impact, give here! https://newspring.cc/give Socials: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/newspring_church/?igsh=MTlmemI2N3dhZDYwag%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Facebook https://www.facebook.com/newspring
