What inspires you? A personal motto? A quote that directs your daily life? The letters written by the apostle John and Jude focused on two simple words that define our life and permeate our actions: love and truth.
These letters are full of insights and direction along with warnings and encouragement . . . all based on these two words. These words remind us that God supplies all we need. That there is a real purpose to generosity. That there are times to be tolerant and times to take a stand. That faith includes certainties. Love and truth remind us of the life-changing power in the gospel message. Want a guide to how to live? Study John and Jude's letters of love and truth.
As you read, study, journal, and discuss the books of John and Jude, watch for these key themes that Max will unpack throughout the book:
- Our obedience in faith keeps us in fellowship with God.
- God will forgive our sins.
- We can measure any truth by where it places Jesus in relation to God.
- God's love and Christ's victory are the Christian's inheritance.
