Introduction to 1 John (the Fellowship of the Kingdom People)
Key Verse: 1:3
1. Jesus, the word of life (1-4)
John saw Jesus, heard him, touched his pierced side and believed that he is the Word of life, the eternal life who was with God in the beginning. Jesus is God. This Jesus came into the world. Why? John proclaims that Jesus came to restore our broken fellowship with God and with each other. It was to give us complete joy.
2. Confess your sins (5-10)
God is light. In God there is no darkness. If one claims to have fellowship with God, but walks in darkness claiming to be without sin, he lies. He has no light. The light reveals we are all sinners without exception. So we must confess our sins. Then God is faithful and just. He will forgive all our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Then we can have beautiful fellowship with God and with Jesus and with others as forgiven sinners walking in the light.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for Jesus who came and died so that we can have fellowship with God and with each other. Help me to confess my sins and walk in the light.
One Word: Jesus, the word of life and light!
