1 John 1-5, Psalms 114-115

Episode Summary

John, the apostle whom Jesus loved and the author of the fourth gospel writes today’s letter to the church with encouragement to flee from sin, to trust in Jesus, to love one another, and to assure them of the eternal life that Christ has secured for them. This letter doesn’t have a typical structure; unlike other epistles it doesn’t address a particular church or mention individual people. The nature of fellowship with one another and the relationships between mankind and their God are at the forefront of this letter, as John uses the marks of Christian love to strengthen true believers and convict false converts who hate those whom they call “brother.”
