Heavenly Father:
As I start this study, plant in my heart the truth of Your Word and help me to heed it. Let the Holy Spirit be my guide as I work through these pages. Your Word is life itself. Let it lead me deeper into fellowship with You.
In the matchless name of Your Son Jesus I pray, Amen.
Memory Verse
What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:3, NASB
Background
Most of us have the privilege of knowing Christians who have long walked with Jesus and are mature in their faith. We seek their counsel because of their ability to distill wisdom and remind us of what is important. The apostle John is a great example of this. Most of Jesus’ disciples were martyred for the faith, but John lived to be an old man. His teaching is filled with wisdom narrowed down to the essentials. This book may be short, but it is packed with profound truth of how to live a life in fellowship with God.
