First Epistle of John

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This apparent hiding of the meaning is not a matter of wonder. Life in its essence has never been discov ered. Its phenomena are all we know. This book treats of life - life in God, revealed through Christ, and imparted to us. Its structure is in harmony with its theme, as is always the case in the word of God. All the words used in Scripture, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, show a sympathetic capacity to deal with the truth under consideration never found in other writings. This is strikingly seen in the Gospel and Epistles of John as well as in the Apocalypse. The writer has sought to trace the course of these vital undercurrents of life pressing their way through the whole book.
