He's the Real Thing

In 1 John, the same issues are still causing conflict with the new Christian followers, as false teachers are trying to convince them that, according to their beliefs, physical matter is evil; humans are physical matter; therefore, Jesus could not have existed as a human. They were saying that Jesus could not have possibly been real, but their "Spiritual knowledge" and "Superior understanding" put them above everyone else, and they were closer to God because of their intellect, not because of the sacrifice of Jesus. How did John reinforce that Jesus was "THE REAL THING"? Join us this Sunday as we look at how this letter emphasizes godly living and caring as signs of those who truly know God.
