Time Well Spent with Cornelius F. Warren

Due to the recent Coronavirus outbreak, we are doing our Wednesday Bible Study via Blogtalkradio.com for the next few weeks in order to reduce the possibility of transmission of the virus. We are currently teaching through 1 John.

John, the beloved apostle, has long known and enjoyed the Lord. He writes 1 John to help out his spiritual brothers and sisters in their walk with the God who is light, love and life. John wants them to be grounded in assurance of their salvation, experiencing victory over sin and the full joys of the Christian life. He reminds them that all these gems can be dimmed by false teaching, so John reminds the reader that belief should be based on the facts about Jesus Christ’s incarnation and that every believer has the responsibility to walk like Christ. 

After setting forth God’s grace in verses 1-2, John goes on to show that those who have truly experienced it will show it by living in obedience to His Word. In our text, verses 3-6, John gives this as the second test of how you can know that you know Jesus Christ: you can know that you truly know Christ if you walk in obedience to His Word. The first test was found in 1 John 1: 8. A true convert admits he is a sinner.
