Epistles of John - First Epistle of John

First Epistle of John

This epistle unlike the other two is written more as a sermon, one to help strengthen peoples faith in Jesus, to help them understand why a being as great as the son of God would have a mortal life and a mortal's agonizing death. There is no signature upon this letter, just one page of sermon written on papyrus paper, but its tone and language leads historians to believe that it was written by one who was intimate with Christ.
