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.

If Jesus doesn't come back soon
If Jesus Christ doesn't come soon, you and I are going to watch the demise of our nation. And here he quotes Isaiah 40:6-8, “because all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower falls away.” There is all of human history. There is every kingdom that has ever arisen on this earth. There is every civilization. No matter how beautiful the flower, the grass withers and the flower falls. The flower of the United States of America is about to fall. If Jesus Christ doesn't come soon, you and I are going to watch the demise of our nation. And it's going to break my heart because this nation has been the brightest light in modern history. It has been to the modern age what the nation of Israel should have been and sometimes was in their own age. And the greatest hope for freedom, liberty and prosperity and compassion is going to be gone from the earth.
