Link to the Show / Show NotesThank you for joining us on The Word Is Grace. This week, we begin a new study, on the book of 1 John. John answers some very tough questions in this small letter. As we go through this profound book, I would like to encourage you to go deeper. Find out of John is saying what we believe he is saying. I will be providing links at the bottom of each weekâs podcast to be used for further study. So, what does John write that is so profound? To begin with, he gives us the biblical definition of sin, which may not sound like a very profound revelation... until you find that it means to break Torah. Thatâs right, Johnâs definition of sin is âTorah-less-nessâ or âwithout Torah.â As startling as that may be, it is equally important to notice that he is writing mostly to Gentile believers. So what does this mean for believers today? That is one of the things we will be getting to later. John also answers the questions of salvation, like, am I saved? How can I know? Do I love God? How can I know? Do I love my brother? - How can I know? Do we have fellowship with Jesus? The Father? - How can we know? Am I being honest with myself? - How Can I Know?Can I still be forgiven? How can I know?Click the links below for further study resources:1 John 1:1-10 (New King James Version)English Translation of the SeptuagintMay the Lord bless you and keep you,Shabbat shalom!
