Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 1 John 4:9

Join us as we grow in our understanding of God, ourselves, and the world through the lens of the Bible. Jesus defines discipleship as being obedient to God. Life in Christ is, therefore, incomplete if the knowledge we acquire does not influence our daily lives. This means that studying the Bible, and studying the Bible with others, is a vital part of the process of discipleship. By Shofar Christian Church

The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.

In times of uncertainty, it’s helpful to ground ourselves with the knowledge that God loves us and is always with us.

You will discover that it is when we want to look inward that the Spirit calls us outward.

Do you want to learn to love well?  This 21-day reading plan will help you learn how to look more like God, who is the embodiment of Love.

What is God like? It’s a big question but an important one. What we understand about God will determine how we relate to Him. The more we know about God, the better our relationship will be.
