1 John 5 – Real Life: We Have Overcome

/in /by

Text: 1 John 5
Title: Real Life: We have Overcome
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
At a time when the first-century church had been invaded by false teachers, John knew Christians who are not sure of God’s truth could wander away, never to return. He wrote 1 John to help these early believers not only to know the real truth, but to be confident of it, and to rest upon it. If then, why not today? We all urgently need to hear and obey God’s loving message in 1 John and let God’s love shape how we live in this world as light in the darkness bringing hope to the hopeless. In the final chapter of 1 John, we remember that in Christ we have the power to overcome the sin that so easily entangles and entraps us and instead we are enabled to live as truly free and live people of God.
