1 John 5
1 JohnSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg provides a commentary on the last chapter of 1 John with a focus on how belief and conduct serve as evidence of kinship with God. He emphasizes the importance of love, obedience, and overcoming the world, which can only be accomplished through rebirth. Gregg also touches on the Doctrine of the Trinity and the role of faith in receiving desired outcomes. The overarching theme is that believers must keep themselves free from idols and cling to their faith to avoid being swayed by the wicked one.
