A Test of Authenticity
Update: 2024-05-12
Description
1 John 5:1-5
If you wanted to give a title to the book of 1 John you could easily name it “Authentic Christianity.” The disciple John here writes about 3 tests for authentic Christianity. John is applying a doctrinal test (belief). A social test (love). And a moral test (obedience). John is applying these 3 tests to talk about our authentic identity as born-again Christians. And he holds up
faith, especially, as the ticket to victory over this world.
