1 John – Week 4 – Day 1

READ 

1 John 2:24-25 

24 So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. 25 And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us. 

Here the apostle John refers to the “beginning” and urges believers to be faithful to what they had been taught. The “beginning” would have to do with the teachings of Jesus passed on by the apostles. By remaining faithful they will also continue in fellowship with the Son and the Father. This enables the Christ-follower to enjoy the fellowship of eternal life that God has promised. 

REFLECT 

Think how privileged you are to have the teaching of Jesus and the apostles in a copy of the Bible today. 

RESPOND 

Is your friend engaged in the Bible at least four times a week? Back to the Bible’s research reveals those who are have fewer problems with habits and conduct that are not pleasing to the Lord. Suggest your friend read in the gospels to learn about Jesus, and eventually go on to the book of Acts to see how the gospel was spread through the followers of the Lord Jesus.
