Download discussion questions:  1 John 3:14-4:6

John is emphatic about what Christians know (or should know).  Growing up in a western culture, perhaps even in a Christian home, we may take many Christian truths for granted, even if our neighbors may not.  For John’s original readers this clarity and certainty was not guaranteed.  If you were surrounded by apathetic or even hostile challengers you would probably want to know exactly what the Gospel is and what difference it makes.  If some of those around you were offering very different explanations, how would you know what to believe?  John is writing to help believers – first-century and twenty-first century – sort out truth from error.  Use the handout to stir your thinking, then join us on Sunday for a lively discussion.
