1 John 5:13–21
Sunday, 4 October, 2026

John closes his first letter with a simple but serious warning: “keep yourselves from idols.” After spending five chapters showing us that Jesus is the real thing, John reminds us not to look for substitutes to provide what only Jesus can. God gives life and hears his children, he alone gives life, and he faithfully keeps his people in truth. Because of who God is, we can come to him confidently in prayer, trust him with the people and circumstances we cannot fix, and guard our hearts from anything that competes for our trust in Jesus.
