Introduction to 1 John

It is something of an anomaly that 1 John with his simple Greek is undoubtedly one of the most difficult books that you will find in the New Testament. It is an extremely difficult book. It is also interesting that first-year Greek students study 1 John because the Greek, generally speaking, is comparatively simple but, it is a hard, hard book. There is a great deal of conflict about what this little 5-chapter Epistle is saying. It is our privilege and our goal is to cover 1 John in its entirety in the section.

The First Epistle of John is an intensely practical letter addressed to Christian readers. It warns against the dangers of false teaching and exhorts.

Key theme: the tests of reality in the Christian life

Key Verse: 1 John 5:13 (others could be 1:3; 2:1; 4:7; 4:12)
