I John

The book of 1 John - This is a great book and filled with great lessons.

Verses that have special meaning to me are: 

• 1 John 1:7   "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."
• 1 John 2:6   "Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did."
• 1 John 3:1a "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" 
• 1 John 4:19  ^"We love because he first loved us."
• 1 John 5:20 "We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."

We could ask each your favorite verse.  Our memory verse for this next week is I John 4:9 -- "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."
