Bible Note: Truths learned about the Godhead: John clearly lays out the truths concerning the Godhead. All three attributes of the Triune God are presented in this epistle. 1. God The Father. 2. God The Son. 3. God, The Holy Spirit. John emphasizes the Humanity of God the Son. He portrays Christ’s divinity proper, but places significance on the humanity of Christ to dispel apparent heresies that were developing within the church. Christ retained His deity while being fully man at the same time. They witnessed Christ as man. They touched Him, they heard Him, they looked upon Him and they handled Him. This was the Word of Life… come to life, in the flesh. J. Vernon McGee wrote about the Apostle; “John reclined upon the bosom of Jesus in the upper room. He heard the heartbeat of God”. God the Father is represented as light. The light is what is pure, true, holy and reliable. He is perfectly pure. The Father is also portrayed as the Judge to which Christ is our advocate. Christ is our means to the Father. To deny Him is to also deny the Father. To Abide in Him is to fellowship with Him and the Father. Obedience to Christ is of the essence to which the Holy Spirit will show us. The Holy Spirit is shown as teaching us all things. Preserving us. He is our assurance that we dwell in Him and Him in us. We testify with the Spirit that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Those who confess, that Jesus is the Son, God dwells in him and him in God. 1 John 5:7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Truths learned about the Gospel: John clearly proclaims the Gospel throughout this epistle similar in style to his own Gospel account. The emphasis is love and it is clearly love. Not love from us to God, rather love from God to us in Sending His Son so that through Him we may gain eternal life. From His Gospel: John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Life was manifested and seen and bore witness to and shown us that He who was with the father was manifested unto us. The light of God shown upon us, and when we walk in that light, we have fellowship with Christ. His blood was shed to cleanse us of all sin. We will be forgiven our sins if we confess them. Not only our sins, but for the sins of the world was he made to be our propitiation. Our sins our forgiven for His name’s sake. In that we are promised eternal life. This is the love of God to us that He sent His one and only Son to die for us that we may live through Him. He that has the Son has life, and in that, eternally. And the other truth of the Gospel is called out as well; “he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” 1 John 4:9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
