Notes Intro to book of 1 John
1.) He wants you to be certain that you have eternal life.
2.) He wants you to be certain that you are experiencing God's unconditional love.
1 John 1:1-4 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
1.) Eternal life cannot happen without Jesus Christ.
2.) Unconditional love only comes from God.
3.) We can experience these realties in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
