Our Bible Reading of the Day is 1 John 2:1-6. The Apostle John wrote 1 John to a group of believers and churches who had been bombarded with false teachings about Jesus. Some false teachers had left the church, but the controversy they stirred up lingered. John responded to these false teachers and their false claims not by backing down but by standing strong on the Gospel with grace and truth. At the same time, he aimed to encourage the believers by reinforcing their understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He reminded them of the amazing love of God evidenced in the completed work of Christ and clarified how we experience His forgiveness. Through this session, we want to remember what is true about Jesus and encourage a life of obedience that flows from love by understanding His completed work on the cross.
