Have you ever known someone who said he was a Christian, but you had your doubts? Isn’t it reasonable if someone is an authentic Christian, you will see some evidence of faith in his life?

In 1 John, the apostle is concerned about how believers in the early church are living. Concerned they have become too casual and have watered down core aspects of faith—divine love, absolute truth, and confidence in the good news of the Gospel. John is rightly concerned because when enthusiasm wanes, the church is at risk of falling prey to false teachers, political correctness, and secular tolerance. Sound relevant to today’s culture?

In this series, Living the Life, Stuart Briscoe joins ranks with John to reveal what it looks like to be authentic children of God, if we can be confident in knowing truth, and whether we can live and love in a way that impacts the world.
