The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ #2

Scripture References: John 1:1-10
From Series: "1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007"
This series details John's description of our being 'in Him' - abiding in Christ. This contrasts Paul's use of the phrase expressing positional truth. The key verse is 1Jo 2:6 'He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.' The series opens many truths in 1st John while covering the entire epistle.
