Walk In Obedience
A Verse-by-Verse Study of 1 John, 2 John & 3 John
Rev. George H. Stoddard
What does it look like to know God — not just believe the right things about Him, but walk with Him every day in a way that shows? Walk In Obedience takes you verse by verse through 1, 2 and 3 John, the apostle’s last letters on light, love, truth and the obedience that proves real faith.
“He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”1 John 2:6
What does it actually look like to know God — not just believe the right things about Him, but walk with Him, day after day, in a way that shows? That is the question the apostle John answers in his three short, personal letters, and it is the question this study is built to help you live out.
Walk In Obedience is a comprehensive, verse-by-verse journey through 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John — the letters an aging apostle wrote to churches he loved, facing false teachers who twisted the truth about Christ and believers who needed to be reminded that real faith always shows itself in love. Every verse of all three letters is set out in the King James Version and opened up with clear, pastoral commentary — tracing John’s great themes of light and darkness, truth and love, abiding and obedience — from the opening words of 1 John to Gaius’s hospitality and Diotrephes’s pride in 3 John.
Each chapter closes with a “Walk It Out” panel of reflection questions, a key verse to memorize, and a closing prayer, making this guide ready for personal devotions, Sunday school, and small groups alike. Whether you read it straight through or open it to a single passage, you will find solid grounding in the text and a clear call to a faith that walks.
