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)

Micah gives the time of writing as ?in the days of Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah kings of Judah? (Mic 1:1). This places his ministry from about 740 to 710 B.C. This book of his prophecies was likely compiled around 700 B.C. He was a contemporary of the prophet Isaiah. His name is a shortened form of ?Micaiah? (cf. 1Ki 22:8?28 another prophet) meaning ?Who is like Jehovah.?
