INTRODUCTION TO 1 JOHN (Part 7):

VIII. ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP OF 1, 2 AND 3 JOHN WITH THE REST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:

John's letters were the last written in the New Testament.

Four of the letters are classified in the Jewish Literature section of the New Testament since John wrote mostly to the believing Jews who were scattered in Asia Minor.

IX. SECTION OUTLINE OF 1 JOHN

CHAPTER 1: The Doctrine of God

CHAPTER 2: The Doctrine of Genuine Confession. (People who say, but their life doesn't line up).

CHAPTER 3: The Doctrine of Sin

CHAPTER 4: The Doctrine of Love

CHAPTER 5: The Doctrine of Salvation

This is where John gives a list of assurances for those who are saved. And he says if you meet the conditions, then he gives you the assurances that indeed you are saved and will be with Christ.

So that last chapter is sort of a summary of everything that he has spoken of in the four chapters presented, as an assurance to the believers.

I will share the introduction to 2 John next.
