Kept & Keeping

Jul 6, 2025    Claire Cottrill

As we close our 10-week journey through 1 John, this final message reminds us of John’s simple but powerful call: You are kept by Jesus — so keep on.


Because we are kept by Jesus:

We keep praying with boldness, trusting our Father hears and answers.

We keep each other, just like John reminds us—we are our brothers' and sisters’ keepers.

We keep our hearts free from anything that tries to replace Him, guarding against idols that promise life but can’t deliver.


John opened this letter telling us about the real life found in Jesus, and he ends by urging us to hold fast to what is real and lasting. Listen and be encouraged to live confident, faithful, and undivided, not because you’re strong enough to keep yourself, but because Jesus keeps you.
