A devotional reflection on assurance, obedience, and love.

1 John

1 John reveals the assurance of salvation. It teaches that true believers walk in light, love one another, and obey God’s commands. God’s love transforms the heart and produces confidence.

God is light. (1 John 1:5)

We love him, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19)

These things have I written unto you. (1 John 5:13)

Christian Application

1 John encourages believers that they can know they have eternal life. God’s love casts out fear. Walk in the light, love others, and rest in God’s assurance.

Sample Prayer

Lord, deepen my love for You and help me walk in the light of Your truth. Amen.
