This series of messages is based on the New Testament letters of 1, 2, 3 John, which are in response to false teachings that had grown from within the church community. People were claiming to be in fellowship with Jesus, to be a Christian, but were not living in obedience to the teachings of Jesus. These letters stress that a follower of Jesus will walk (live) like Jesus walked. The inclination of a follower's heart is out of love to obey the example and teachings of the Lord Jesus in every way. People who claim to follow Jesus yet live in constant disobedience to His teachings are liars, and the truth is not in them. These letters provide a way to discern those who falsely claim to be followers of Jesus as well as challenge us to see if we are one of them.
