First John is a book that both preachers and readers sometimes set aside as complicated or difficult to understand. Nonetheless, it remains part of the Scripture that God has given for our benefit. Alistair Begg emphasizes that in the theological ambiguity of our age, this book speaks with clarity and certainty. The instruction of 1 John protects the church from the danger of false teachers and motivates believers to joy, holiness, and assurance.
1aThat which was bfrom the beginning, cwhich we have heard, dwhich we have seen with our eyes, ewhich we looked upon and fhave touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2gthe life hwas made manifest, and we have seen it, and itestify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, awhich was with the Father and hwas made manifest to us— 3cthat which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed jour fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4And we are writing these things so kthat our1 joy may be complete.
