We connect 1 John to Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and talk about unity, love, truth, and discernment as the church’s public witness.
• moving from hearing God’s word to doing it
• working out salvation while trusting God at work in us (Philippians 2:12–13)
• 1 John as reassurance that we belong to God and know the truth
• Jesus’ prayer for unity so the world believes (John 17)
• hatred and anger as darkness and spiritual murder (1 John 2 and 1 John 3; Matthew 5)
• choosing forgiveness, reconciliation, and compassion over stewing and venting
• love shown in deeds and in truth, not just words
• speaking truth in love without being harsh
• testing the spirits and spotting false teachers (1 John 4)
• checking Bible verses in context and against the whole of Scripture
• watching for teachings that make the flesh too comfortable
• holding love and truth in the necessary tension
