Light in 1 John

Final Assurance

Posted on Thursday, September 27, 2007Monday, July 27, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

John comes to the conclusion of his short letter in a resounding crescendo of assurance. He does this in the only possible context of biblical assurance, the context of the absolute difference between right and wrong. “This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. …

An Intersection of Tests

Posted on Wednesday, September 26, 2007Tuesday, July 28, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

We have been considering and distinguishing the various tests for genuine Christianity. We now come to the portion of the epistle of John where it becomes evident that while these things may be distinguished, they cannot be separated.

Real Assurance

Posted on Tuesday, September 25, 2007Tuesday, July 28, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

No Traffic in Grays

Posted on Monday, September 24, 2007Wednesday, July 29, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

Recall that John gives a cycle of tests for genuine Christianity. That three-fold cycle includes righteousness, love, and doctrinal integrity, and in this place he begins working his way through this cycle for a second time. A true Christian may be described as one who does what is right, loves his brothers, and believes certain …

AntiChrist and Beast

Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007Friday, July 31, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

Few teachings in the Bible have been as wildly misunderstood as the teaching of the apostle John on the Antichrist. Opinions and speculation about him are commonplace. Unfortunately, the assumptions made about Antichrist are usually far away from the actual teaching of the Bible on the subject. “Little children, it is the last hour; and …
