1John 1:5-7: Walking in the Light Part 1: Holy living, this Friday April 27th @ the Moores...


Dear fellow “douloi” of the North Hollywood Bible Study

And again we will have the chance to dig into the text of 1John.  As we will study verses 5-7 in chapter 1, we will begin to work our way through the different test criteria of true Christianity that John provided for his confused readers towards the end of the 1st century.  They are still as applicable today as they were in John’s days. 

To prepare yourself for the study, you can look at the questions below:

Question 1:  What is the meaning of “light”? What does it precisely stand for? Consequently, what is therefore the meaning of darkness?

To answer this question, study the following passages:
o   John 1:4
o   John 3:19
o   1John 2:9
o   Matt. 5:14
o   Psalm 119:105
o   Eph. 5:8-10 (Phil 2:14-16)
o   Rom. 13:12-13

*** (we will split up in groups and discuss this, it might be good for you to have some notes with you on which you put down some initial thoughts.)

Question 2: What does it mean to “walk in the light”?
We will take a close look at verses 6-7 in 1John 1 to answer this question.

I am looking forward to a great time of teaching and fellowship with all of you.

In His service

Pascal
