JOHN'S LOVE MESSAGE (1 John 1)
1 That which was from the beginning, which
we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at
and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life
appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the
eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what
we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And
our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make
our joy complete.
II.
Message of Light and Fellowship
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you:
God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have
fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live
out the truth. 7 But
if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with
one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
III.
Message of Confession and Forgiveness
8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in us. 9 If
we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our
sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
