1 John: Turning From Hypocrisy To Truth

The Wiersbe Bible Study #46

by Warren W. Wiersbe

A religious climate filled with false teachings. Christians whose lives don’t line up with their words. A seductive world that distorts the truth. Sound familiar? These issues have challenged believers since the early church. The book of 1 John examines what it means to be an authentic follower of Jesus Christ. This study examines themes that are relevant to every believer, and encourages us to be real in our faith, our words, and our lifestyle. The Wiersbe Bible Studies Series explores timeless wisdom found in God’s Word. Based on Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe’s popular “BE” series, each study provides topical, relevant insights from selected books of the Bible. Designed for small groups, this eight-week study features selected commentaries from Be Real, engaging questions, and practical applications, all designed to help you connect God’s word with your life.

This was a really good read. It was a short book, but I enjoyed the chapters and how there were questions and commentary. It was great to read this along with the book of 1 John. It was a deep read and yet easy to read. I look forward to reading more of these books. 🎉

Cleaning up my "currently reading" shelf and realized I never reviewed this one. We were doing it with my small group women's study, which came to a grinding halt when the Covid lockdowns first started. We did meet a few times via Zoom but never finished this study. I finished it on my own and it was another good one from Wiersbe. I used the 1John commentary by Wiersbe along with this study. The commentary is very accessible and interesting to read. I highly recommend doing this on your own or in a group.

Study of First John:

This may not be the most comprehensive study of First John but it contains so much information and inspiration that I recommend it to everyone. I learned so much and am inspired to continue to read and study the Word of God as I walk with Him each and every day.

A good study of 1 John. Could be read as a small group study with the help of the BE version of the book or on its own.

This is the second time I have studied 1 John with this study guide. It is an excellent guide for 1 John but it is even better when used with the corresponding commentary by Wiersbe "Be Real". The to books will move the bible study up to a whole new level,
