We Know (1 John): Lesson 5
1 John 2:3-6 | Knowing Christ = Loving God | Deep in the Bible No. 35
In this episode of the Deep in the Bible podcast, host Timothy Agee continues the "We Know" series with an insightful look at 1 John 2:3-6, exploring how believers can truly know that they have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. Discover how the Apostle John directly refutes the mystical claims of early Gnosticism by establishing a clear, practical test: true knowledge and active, agape love for God are always demonstrated when we keep His commandments. Timothy breaks down the essential distinction between treating obedience as a "characteristic" of a true believer rather than "criteria" to earn salvation, connecting John's teachings back to Moses in Deuteronomy and Jesus in the Gospels. Learn what it truly means to strengthen your vertical relationship with God and walk just as Jesus walked.
