On The Trail - The Letter of 1 John: Know That You Know
This is part of the On The Trail series of Bible study guides designed for small groups. This title takes groups through 10 studies in the Letter of 1 John.
1 John is a short letter, one of the "general epistles" or "catholic epistles" - written to the church in general rather than to a named church.
John's tone is positive. He writes to encourage, wanting to reassure his readers that they are genuine Christians and that this means they truly have eternal life.
While there are many legitimate applications that come out of studying this letter, our studies should overall leave groups reassured and encouraged in their Christian standing and in the blessings that flow from this.
