1 John Step #7
Revisit the whole book
This is our final week of studying 1 John! We will read through the entire book again.
As you read, try filtering it through the details we have uncovered in our deeper study and see if they have improved your overall comprehension of the book.
▲ Make a general summary statement now that you have studied the book, and compare it with your original statements. We should be able to see a noticeable difference from where we started—repeating this step after an in-depth study is a great way to track our progress and growth.
Answer the 4 main study questions about the entire book as a whole now that you have studied it:
↑ What does this book teach me about God?
↓ What does this book teach me about man/humanity?
† What does this book teach me about Christ (or how does this point me to Christ?
✓How can I apply this book to my life?
Questions to consider for application:
How have I seen transformation in my life through my intentional time in the Word?
How has the overall message of 1 John changed my perspective and informed my daily decisions and actions?
Accountability Questions to Consider:
Am I living in unity with my fellow believers?
Is there any area I am allowing anger, offense, or bitterness to take root in my heart?
How does my life reflect joy, peace, and contentment in all circumstances?
What is one step I can take this week to make progress in these areas?
Challenge:
** Continue memorizing our selected passage and come ready to recite, if you’re planning on participating in this portion.
Go Deeper:
This technically should have been included for last week’s study, but I found it worth listening to—maybe you will, too.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all you have revealed to us through your Word! You are good and faithful, and we have seen evidence of this in our time together. Thank you for how we have grown in love for you and one another. You are worthy of all praise!
Please help us apply the precious truths found in 1 John to our lives. May our lives be a reflection of your Love, and may we love you and others more every day.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Blessings 🤍
