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

Malachi Session 5
The priest Phinehas acted out God's attitude (Mal 2:7-8, Num 25:6-13). We need to study like Ezra, prepare like Solomon and preach like Paul. God used Ezra in a mighty way (Ezr 7:6-10). If we study like Ezra. we also need to prepare like Solomon (Ecc 12:9-11). Paul reasoned, explained, and demonstrated his points (Act 17:1-3). Teaching is a tremendous priviledge (Heb 5:12-14). God's Fatherhood was to the nation of Israel (Mal 2:10). God rails against divorce among the Jews (Mal 2:11-17). What makes this important to God? godly offspring (1Co 7:14).
