1, 2, 3 John and Jude - (MacArthur Bible Studies) by John F MacArthur (Paperback)

About the Book

John MacArthur takes readers through the books of 1, 2 and 3 John and Jude, exploring each writer's warnings against false teachers, about the need to stand firm in true biblical faith, and how we must examine our lives and confess our sins.

Book Synopsis

In the face of false teachings about Jesus, the apostle John took a direct approach. "I heard Jesus speak," he wrote. "I saw him . . . I even touched him." Just as we would write about someone we knew and loved, John told the early believers the truth about the Savior. But he didn't let them off the hook without an examination of their lives.

Pastor John MacArthur will take you through these short but impactful letters, passage by passage, so that you can better understand their message of forgiveness, how to uphold a biblical faith, and the real dangers of spiritual warfare.

John was not alone in his concern about the influence of false teachers in the early church. Jude, a half-brother of Christ, also wrote to the believers. In his letter, he firmly urged all believers to fight for truth, and encouraged all followers of Jesus to stand firm in the faith.
