verses read: 1 John 1
prayer: 15 minutes
My next set of readings will be on the 3 letters of John to the church. 1 John was written out of a need to address certain heresies in the church back then. Once again, the type of heresies heard then are the same as now. Gnosticism was and is perhaps one of the most prevalent. And since the Da Vinci Code movie is coming, might be good to read this book.
The opening passage of this book is so similar to the Gospel of John. Talking about light and the word; and the only way to be saved is through Jesus. And yes, the best way to address heresy is of course to return back to the basics, the basic tenets on the faith and the root of salvation. So, the next few days should be an interesting read.
