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.

Romans #3
From Series: "Romans"
The book of Romans is the most complete set of Christian doctrines in the Bible. It's necessary to grasp for our spiritual growth and renewal. Romans presents all theology as stemming from the fact of Jesus Christ's crucifixion burial and resurrection. In this sense the whole counsel of God - concepts from all of scripture - is represented in this book. Its over-riding theme is justification by faith (Rom 1:16-17).
