Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the "First Epistle of John" and describes how it is different from many of the Epistles, which take the form of letters. The paper describes the structure and content of the Epistle and discusses the effect of the way that it was presented to the people. The paper also describes the message from John to his followers that he gave in the sermon that is the first Epistle.From the Paper:
"The First Epistle of John is unlike many of the Epistles, which take the form of letters. John's first epistle instead takes the form of a sermon, a set of reminders to followers and the curious of the nature of their needed devotion and the clarity of their place in the world of the Lord, if they chose to live by his laws, as well as repent those sins which they are unable to avoid through devoted actions. The Epistle describes the manner in which a believer should live his or her life with a fervent spirit of the writer, building upon his own love for the word and the love of the lord. The work is comprehensive in that it develops almost an outline of the needed actions of the follower. According to Blaney in the Wesley Notes on New Testament "no other book of the bible treats so many doctrines so completely and so well." (Blaney 343)"Sample of Sources Used:
- King James Version Bible New York: Thomas Nelson, 1984.
