Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

1 John 1:1-4 - Fellowship In The Life Eternal

We begin our study of 1 John with an overview of the entire letter followed by a close look at the prologue which is found in the first four verses. This First Epistle of John is both a polemic and an encouragement. It is written against a group of false teachers and their false teaching about the nature of Jesus Christ and it is written for the encouragement of a group of believers who have remained faithful to the apostolic teaching in spite of it all.

In these first four verses John comes out on the offensive, attacking the false teaching by affirming the true teaching on the humanity of Christ in his incarnation. Although the controversy that provoked this letter is an old one, there is a lot of relevance for our day in what John writes and why. The letter has much to say to us about the nature of controversy and how and when it should be dealt with.



John also has much to teach about our fellowship with Jesus and with the Father and with each other and how that fellowship is related to our acceptance of the truth about Jesus Christ.
