Christians have a lifelong goal: To become like
Christ.
This involves change, and change isn't always easy. But the more you know of God's
purposes for you, the more you can experience His joy and participate in His plan.
The LifeChange Series of Bible studies on books of the Bible can help you grow in Christlikeness
through a life-changing encounter with God's Word. You'll benefit in these important ways:
You'll gain a firm understanding of the book -- its historical context, purpose, structure and
meaning;
You'll apply its powerful, relevant wisdom to needs and issues you are currently working
through;
You'll acquire personal study skills and a thirst to return to the book on your own -- so you can
keep going deeper into its life-transforming truths.
1, 2 & 3 John
When false teachers began to undermine the faith of Christians at the end of the first century, the
Apostle John responded with hard-hitting words about righteousness, love, and truth. His
message continues to expose falsehood and give true Christians confidence in their relationship
with God.
