1 John 2:3-14
- Rev. Dr. Bob Fuller
- June 29, 2025
Jesus is the true light who came to reveal the truth of God and guide people toward Him. Rather than taking sides in theological or relational conflicts, the message of Jesus—and John’s focus—is to lift hearts and eyes upward to the Savior. John, a faithful defender of the pure gospel, writes not to stir division but to shepherd believers with a redemptive and pastoral heart. He emphasizes that true knowledge of God is shown through obedience to Christ’s commandments. Those who claim to know God but do not follow His teachings are living in falsehood, while those who keep His word reflect God’s perfected love. The light of God, John teaches, is found in living out the teachings of Jesus—not simply the laws of the Old Testament, but the spirit and truth of Christ's message. In all, the sermon calls believers not to dwell in darkness or conflict, but to walk in the light of Jesus.
