The Book of1 John
New Testament · Book 62 of 66 · 5 chapters · 105 verses
1 John is the apostle of love's late-life letter — written so believers can know they have eternal life. God is light; God is love; perfect love drives out fear. Its tests are simple and searching: walk in the light, love one another, confess sin and find Him faithful to forgive.
