Who is Demas and how is he related to 1 John? We first meet Demas in Philemon 24 where he is described by Paul as a fellow worker. The next time we meet Demas is in Colossians 4:14 where Paul just refers to him by name. Then in 2 Timothy 4:10 Paul says that Demas has deserted him having loved the present world.
Demas is a lesson for all of us. He represents those who see the world as an attraction whether it be in philosophy, finance, entertainment, values. Now don't misunderstand me, those things are not wrong in themselves but it depends upon how you view them. Satan doesn't even care if you have a Biblical worldview is your ultimate goal is to view the world.
We need to guard ourselves that we do not become like Demas.
