The First Epistle Of John Was Written To Christians

1John 1:1-10, John encouraged Christians to live a life consistent with the fellowship of our Lord. Because John was one of Jesus Disciples, and was very close to the Lord, while He was on Earth. St. John 21:7, Read  Therefore that Disciples whom Jesus Loved saith unto Peter, it is the Lord.So with that in mind; We feel that John could speak with authority: about maintaining true fellowship with God. He could also say that which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, for the Word was manifested unto us: John said that what he has seen and heard he declare unto us the reader, that we also may have fellowship together. and our true fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.He want to show us that, Eternal Life which was with the father, was manifested unto them;

We can clearly see that this Eternal Life that John spoke about is the Lord Jesus Christ.who came down from the Father:This is the message which John want to reach us that God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him. And if we as believer want to have fellowship with Christ, we cannot walk in darkness, But if we walk in the light as He [Christ]  is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His [God] Son cleanse us from all sin. If we confess our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have no sin we make him a liar and His word is not in us.
