About the Book of 1 John
1 John is a letter about fellowship with God through his Son. Written to believers facing false teaching about Christ, it sets the tests of true faith: walking in the light, keeping his commandments, loving one another, and confessing that Jesus is the Son of God.
Its 5 chapters and 105 verses include the promise that "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9), the marvel that "what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1), the simple declaration that "God is love" (1 John 4:8), and the comfort that "there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear" (1 John 4:18). The letter ends with the assurance of eternal life in his Son (1 John 5:11-13).
