In John’s day there were evil-minded men trying to confuse new believers about what the Gospel really was, and about who Jesus really was. John wrote this letter to set the record straight and teach his beloved readers seven basics, woven in and repeated over and over through the whole letter – seven basics which would propel them into fruitful, rich, confident, and satisfying lives with Christ. Here they are: After believing in Jesus, they would need to:
- …Know the Gospel
- …Walk with Jesus Every Day
- …Take Care of Sin Right Away
- …Love Other Believers
- …Do Not Love The World
- …Look for His Return
- …Be Confident – Because Jesus Will Never Lose You.
