Text: 1 John 2:7–17 (NLT)

What does it really mean to “live in the light”? In this passage, John reminds us that the command to love one another is both ancient and brand new—fulfilled and deepened in Jesus. True maturity in Christ shows up in how we love God, love others, and resist the pull of the world. This week we’ll see how disciples grow at different stages of faith, how God’s Word strengthens us to overcome temptation, and how choosing light over darkness brings assurance, joy, and eternal life.
