1, 2, and 3 John - John Robertson - Bog

1, 2 and 3 John are love letters to the church from the Apostle John. These three books reveal problems that existed in the early church. There were false teachers that proved to be antichrist by their refusal to know and live out the truth as taught by Jesus and the apostles. John expresses his love toward his fellow Christians by exposing the hypocritical language of those that say they know, believe, love, and fear God when they truly do not. John explains that sincere erring Christians have the power to lead saints astray from the truth if one does not administer the test of scriptures to every word another speaks. These three books have the loving intention of helping people make it to heaven (1 John 2:25). The three letters; however, demand that one speak and act in truth rather than being self-deluded in sin and error.
