One of the themes throughout John's first letter is the theme of assurance. He wants his readers to have confidence in the eternal life that Christ has secured for them. With this certainty of their salvation, Christians are able to demonstrate their love for God by keeping His commandments. How should we view God's commands? What about when we fail to keep them? Join us as we wrap up this marvelous letter and see the majesty of the Son of God!

1) Faith is shown through our obedience
2) Faith receives life
