Most Bible scholars believe the writer of this letter is none other than the famous apostle John who was perhaps the disciple closest to Jesus. At this point in his life he was considered an elder statesman. He was the only disciple of Jesus still living. He walked with Jesus, he ate the last supper with Him, he watched as Jesus healed the blind and caused the lame to walk, as Jesus cast out demons and calmed the wind and the waves at His command. John physically touched the resurrected Lord.
He’s writing because the church is being disturbed by false teachers who are distorting the gospel with devastating consequences to those who follow their heresies.
John knows that strengthening their faith and establishing them solidly on the rock of Jesus Christ is the best response to false teachers. This book was written exactly for that purpose; John minces no words as he lays down the foundation for their faith.
There are several themes that John develops in this letter. One theme he comes back to over and over is the importance of what we love. Love is a transforming power and what you love is prophetic of your future.
These false teachers had found a way to wrap religion around worldliness and John was not impressed. Truth is not something to be trifled with or manipulated; it’s something to follow and be transformed by.
These false teachers loved the world more than they loved God and that was the problem. What you love is prophetic of your future.
