Study 1 John: What is a Real Christian?

When most people think of John's letters they think of one word, "love." And they are right to do so. Do you know how many times the word "love" is found in 1 John? Forty-four! Love is the greatest of all of Christ's attributes that He wants us to copy in our lives. Jesus told His disciples that people would recognize them by their love. John never forgot this. In this book John teaches us what a real Christian is. He tells us several tests by which we can examine ourselves and have assurance of salvation. And one of the most important, is if we love others. We hope this book will help you grow in love and good deeds. Our easy to follow 1 John Bible study contains:
