Read 1 John 1:1–4. Describe in writing John’s desire for those he wrote to. Study the following scripture references and then list what these verses teach about how we can come to know God better and have greater joy and fellowship with God:
o 1 John 1:8–10
* Once given is a conference report was a statement that said "That feeling of guilt is to the spirit what pain is to the physical body however guilt can be harder to bear than physical pain." We all have the ability to repents ans be forgiven of our sins.
o 1 John 2:3–6
* When we claim that we know God, it bears great responsibility, and an apostle has given us information to check our knowledge of God. We show God that we love him by following his commandments.
o 1 John 2:9–11; 3:11–19
* Always strive to do good to all those around you. Show your love to everyone in a way that God shows love to you.
o 1 John 2:15–17
* We should not seek after the things of the world. We should also not give into temptations of the world or from the world. Live within our means.
o 1 John 2:20–21, 27
* Others will not be able to lie to us due to the fact that we know the truths of all things and believe them.
o 1 John 3:4–6
* We are shown forgiveness and love by our Father in heaven and he will never leave us.
2. Choose one of the ways to have greater joy and fellowship with God as you described it above, and write a paragraph explaining how you can better implement those principles in your life.
* I know that for me showing love to others when they have offended you in one way or another is a very hard thing to do. I try to forgive however I am not one to forget easily. I know that I must rely on the Lord and go to him in time of need when I am having a hard time being nice or forgiving to those who have offended me.
