FBCHS Bible Study-"A Conquering Faith”

“A Conquering Faith”

 I John 4:2-3, 13-17; 5:4-5

In this week’s lesson, the apostle John writes to his readers about false prophets and teachers. Many believers were conforming to the world’s standards, failing to stand up for Christ and compromising their faith. False teachers were plentiful, denying the incarnation (Jesus becoming human) of Jesus Christ (see I John 2:18-23) and accelerating the church’s downward slide away from the Christian faith. As part of John’s efforts to correct these serious errors, he reminded his readers that their continued trust in Jesus would lead to a conquering faith.I John was written by John, one of Jesus’ original 12 disciples. He is also the author of the Gospel of John and widely believed to be “the disciple that Jesus loved” (see John 21:20), and along with Peter and James, he had a special relationship with Jesus.
