1 JohnSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the first chapter of 1 John, which emphasizes the importance of knowing God and having a relationship with him. He notes that salvation is not only about being saved from sin, but also about experiencing a transformed life. Gregg also highlights John's use of the word "manifested" to describe how God's love is made known to us through his son, Jesus. The chapter also touches on the concept of confessing Jesus as the Son of God and loving one another as a sign of our relationship with God.
