The Book of First John is one of the most remarkable epistles in the entire Bible. First John is one of the most remarkable epistles in the entire Bible. First John is the only portion of Scripture that comes right out and says, 'God is love.' First John also instructs us that love is discerning. The cults of the First Century were destructive to the early church and needed to be exposed. True love exposes error in teaching and lifestyle. Jesus said, 'You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.' Not believing good theology leads to bad living. The false teachers and their followers lived in immorality and hatred. First John's paramount message is that Jesus is God in the flesh who made a complete payment for the sins of men and that fellowship with God produces freedom from all manner of sin's bondage, resulting in love, peace, and joy--the fruits of the Spirit. May God bless you and open your eyes to these great spiritual truths!
