First John is a wonderful epistle providing both doctrinal and practical insights for living the Christian life. First John 1:1-4 provides the introduction to this great epistle of the Apostle John. It will take us two weeks to cover it for in it is this great preface statement revealing the subject matter of the book. In these four verses, we will note the essence of true Christianity, the evidence for our Christian faith, and the message that we are to continue to proclaim. Verse 1 closes with the "Word of life," speaking of Jesus Christ Himself and referring us back to John 1:1 and 14 - "In the beginning was the Word...And the Word was made flesh. John and the other apostles experienced the Living Word daily for three years and writes from the perspective of that personal relationship.
