1 John 5:1-5
Big Idea: Children Of God Walk In Victory As They Place Their Faith Fully In Jesus: In His Sovereignty, Divinity, And Finished Work On Calvary
Our Battle Plan:
1) Right doctrine: true faith in Jesus (v. 1a, 4-5)
True faith in Jesus (v. 1a, 5):
1) Personally believes that Jesus is the Christ (v. 1a)
2) Personally believes that Jesus is the Son Of God (v. 5)
2) Right love: true faith evidenced through our love of God and others (v. 1b-4)
3) Right obedience: true faith evidenced through obeying God’s commands (v. 2-5)
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
– Ephesians 2:8-10
