STUDY:

  • Who is our Advocate? What else does verse 2 say about who the Advocate is?

  • What does the text say about keeping His commandments?

  • What is perfected in us if we are truly in Him?

  • If we say we abide in Him, what else should we do?

  • What is passing away?

  • What does it say about the one who hates his brother?

  • What does darkness do to our eyes?

  • Who are the three audiences that John writes to in verses 12-14?

  • What does verse 15 say we ought not to love?  What does this involve?

  • What does it say about the person who loves these things?

  • Who is the antichrist?

  • What is the promise to those who remain abiding in Him?

  • Paraphrase verse 28.

APPLICATION:

  • Do you abide in Jesus?  If your answer is yes, do you "walk in the same way in which He walked"?  How can you walk more like He did?

  • Do you love the world, the desires of the flesh or eyes or have pride in your possessions?  What does this chapter say about those people?  If you struggle with this, as I do, repent and continue to surrender it to Jesus.

  • Do you hope to have confidence and not shame when you see Christ at the day of His coming?  What if He came tomorrow, would you be confident or ashamed?
