1st John – The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ – 2007 – Northern VA

John’s primary PURPOSE is that believers will enter and maintain fellowship with God, with the RESULT of inner joy.

His secondary PURPOSE is to give believers ASSURANCE of their salvation, with the RESULT that they will continue to live by faith.

“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that our joy may be full … These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may [continue to] believe in the name of the Son of God.” 1Jo 1:3-4; 1Jo 5:13 (emphasis added)

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistle of First John.

Col 1:12-20; Joh 19:30; 1Co 3:11; Mat 7:24-25. Christian life is built on the finished work of Christ which is accomplished because of a mighty Savior. Work of God. 5 things Christ did for us on the cross. Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it. Finished work of Christ on the cross only has meaning because of Who did it.
