1 John - Part 5 - Chapter 2

Repentance is more than being “Sorry” and “Regretting” for mistakes made. Repentance requires turning away from sin and turning to God. Repentance is not the work of man but work of God (John 6:44No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him). How does God draw us to Him? Repentance is followed by change (Mathew 3:8, fruits meet for repentance, II Corinthians 5:17, old things are passed away) What is the Basis for our witness? What is the Content of our witness? What is the Desired outcome of our witness?

1 John - Part 4 - Chapter 2

Episode Notes: Four Stated Objectives of 1 John In this episode, we explore the four clear purposes for which the Apostle John says he wrote this letter. These objectives shape the entire message of 1 John and give believers clarity, assurance, and direction in their walk with Christ. 1️⃣ Joy Made Full (1 John 1:4) “And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.” John’s first objective is joy—not temporary happiness, but deep, abiding joy rooted in fellowship with God. This joy flows from walking in the light, having communion with God, and living in truth. Key takeaway: True Christian joy comes from restored fellowship with God, not from circumstances. 2️⃣ That You May Not Sin (1 John 2:1) “These things write I unto you, that ye sin not.” John writes to encourage believers toward holy living. While he acknowledges human weakness, his goal is not to excuse sin but to discourage it. Christ is presented as our Advocate, not a license to sin. Key takeaway: Grace is not permission to sin, but power to live righteously. 3️⃣ Warning Against False Teachers (1 John 2:26) “These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” A major concern in the letter is deception. John warns believers about false teachers who distort the truth about Christ. He reminds them to remain grounded in what they have heard from the beginning. Key takeaway: Spiritual discernment is essential to remain steadfast in truth. 4️⃣ Assurance of Eternal Life (1 John 5:13) “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.” John’s final and climactic purpose is assurance. Believers don’t have to guess or hope—they can know they have eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Key takeaway: Eternal life is not uncertain for the believer—it is assured through faith in Christ. Closing Thought These four objectives—joy, holiness, discernment, and assurance—form the backbone of 1 John and remain deeply relevant for believers today. John writes not merely to inform, but to transform lives rooted in truth.
