1 John 1:1-4

January 29, 2023 • Edgardo Rosa • 1 John 1:1–4

Historical context of 1 John: 1. Who is the audience of 1 John? 2. What is the purpose of 1 John? In 1 John 1:1-4: 1. John wants to establish his apostolic authority. 2. John wants to re-establish the apostolic message, 3. John wants to make known or affirm his apostolic longing. To proclaim the truths about Jesus. It is for your joy and the good of others. If you don’t proclaim the good news of Christ people will remains without fellowship with God and man and they will remain in despair, without hope, without joy. We are called to proclaim the truth that Life has come! That Life was made manifest! That Life took of flesh, so that a lost and dying world would be reconciled to God and enjoy eternal life.

1 John 1:5

February 5, 2023 • Edgardo Rosa • 1 John 1:5

God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. He is perfectly good both in his character and work. He is the light that gives us life, and the light that calls us out of darkness. God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. Observations: 1. We can only know that God is light in and through Jesus. 2. We can only know that God is light in and through the proclamation of the gospel. 3. We can only know that God is light in and through hearing. Implications: 1. God does not measure perfection or goodness from without, but within. God is the standard of perfection and goodness. 2. God does not create or perform darkness. All that God does is perfect and good. 3. God does not fellowship with darkness. God only fellowships with the light. 4. God does not tolerate darkness. God will one day, eternally, do away with darkness.

1 John 1:5-7

February 12, 2023 • Edgardo Rosa • 1 John 1:5–7

1. What do your actions, your walk, your practices reveal about you? 2. Are you walking in the light or are you walking in the dark? 3. Do your words match your actions? 4. What is you pattern of life? 5. Is your life one that reaps of the fruit of the Spirit or ofthe flesh? The glorious truth is that those who faithfully walk in the light, as God is in the light, can walk in the assurance that they have fellowship with God, his people, all because they have been cleansed from all of their sins by the blood shed by Christ at the cross.
