THEME of 1 John
Assurance of Salvation
ADMIT YOU’RE A SINNER
1 John 1:8
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
CONFESS YOUR SIN
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
THE SINNER’S ADVOCATE
1 John 2:1-2
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD
1 John 2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
APOSTASY PROVES UNBELIEF
1 John 2:19
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us.
HOPE PRODUCES HOLINESS
1 John 3:2-3
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
SACRIFICIAL LOVE FOR THE SAINTS
1 John 3:16-18
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS
1 John 4:10
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
WE LOVE BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
IF WE LOVE GOD WE WILL LOVE THE SAINTS
1 John 4:20
If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
LIFE IS ONLY IN CHRIST
1 John 5:11-12
And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
THE PURPOSE OF 1 JOHN
1 John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.

FACE TO FACE MINISTRY

Though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink. Instead I hope to come to you and talk face to face, so that our joy may be complete.
