Response, Request, Reminder

The Apostle John, in a letter addressing a congregation in his care, responded with joy over those walking in the truth. As Alistair Begg walks us through John’s request that Christ’s followers continue in love, we are also reminded of the role of obedience to God’s commands. Although acceptance in Christ is not secured by obedience, a life of obedience out of love reflects the preeminence of God’s reign in a heart.
