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.

Love the Battle Session 2
From Series: "Learning to Love the Battle -- Tulsa, 2021"
Gene taught at the Tulsa Bible Conference hosted by Heritage Bible Church, Catoosa, OK Aug 27–29, 2021; the theme and title came from "The Lord is with me like a mighty champion..." (Jer 20:11). Why should we love the battle? 1) Because God is faithful and can turn our suffering into victory and our cursing into blessing. 2) We can love the battle because nothing can touch us without God’s permission. 3) We can learn to love the battle because God’s grace and truth is sufficient for our every need.
