Good morning!!
This is the first post of this study of 1 John.
1 John is one of my most favorite books in the Bible because it touches on so many emotions that we endure daily and because it tells us of our assurance of our salvation: how we may KNOW that we have eternal life.
I pray that you will enjoy this study. It is based off of Kay Arthur's precept study of the book, but not the exact study as it would be too hard to do online as a precept.
So, here is a brief layout of how this study will be:
Every other day I will post a lesson for you to read. Included in the lesson will be Bible passages for you to look up and read. The study will begin with an overview of 1 John and a little background on who John was in Scriptures.
The first thing you should do to prepare for this study is to read the entire epistle of 1 John. Then, read it a second time, only this time look for key words in each chapter. If you feel comfortable t marking in your Bible, underline or highlight key words such as know, sin, love, life, abide, and fellowship.
If you are not comfortable marking your Bible, cut & paste then print out the chapters separately (you can find them at www.bible.com) and then mark them accordingly.
You will be amazed at how many times these words are used in this small but important book in the Bible.
Finally, read the first chapter and look for key phrases.
Well, that will be our study for the next few weeks...however long it takes us to get through the whole book.
Looking forward to it!
Blessings,
Ruth
