Can a Christian truly know that he is saved? Walking through the first epistle of John, this eleven-lesson study sets out the tests God has given for genuine assurance — walking in the light, keeping his commands, loving the brethren, our Advocate when we sin, confidence before God, and a faith that overcomes the world — that we may know we have eternal life. A teacher’s guide accompanies every lesson.

Teachers: Each lesson has a matching Teacher's Guide with discussion notes, suggested answers, and supplementary cross-references.
