God's Light and Our Blight -- Part 3

Friday, November 20, 2009

Other biblical writings tell us a lot about what God does, but 1 John focuses on who God is. While others writers wrote of God's power, His work, His will, and His way. John went back again and again to who God is in His nature. In the opening sentence of this letter, John stated that God is life. God is the source of life, the One who originates life, who gives eternal life, and who made Himself known as "the Word of Life" (1 John 1:1). While exulting in the memory of having seen Jesus, heard Him, and touched Him, the aged apostle stated that it's this One whom "we proclaim to you" (1:3). All of that prompted John to announce the message he wanted his readers to know - that God is light. That descriptive term represents, vertically, the truth and the purity of God in heaven. And John also addressed a practical or horizontal dimension regarding God's light. It plays a crucial role in distinguishing genuine faith from counterfeit claims made by people on earth.

FEATURED ARTICLE

The Devil Made Me Do It?
In this age of entitlement, personal responsibility isn't often discussed. Neither is the concept of sin. But just how many of our wrong choices can we blame on outside forces and influences? In this hard-hitting, convicting article, we are reminded to humbly acknowledge our own sins so we can learn to resist them, while also experiencing the cleansing from them that we have received through the person and work of Jesus Christ.

David: A Man of Passion and Destiny

The Bible famously calls David "a man after [God's] own heart," indicating David's willingness to follow after God in humility and faithfulness (1 Samuel 13:14). Do you desire, like David, to be a person after God's own heart? What better way to understand how to live out that ideal in your own life than to examine the life of David?

Join Chuck Swindoll as he preaches through the life of this godly servant of old. Beginning in the most humble of circumstances, David rose slowly to prominence in the sight of Israel. His absolute trust in the Lord during his early years, his repentant response to his grievous sin with Bathsheba, and his continued faithfulness during the trials of his later years will encourage you to grow in your relationship with God, no matter where you find yourself in life.
