“The Word of Life: Fellowship & Joy” 1 John 1:1-4 (1 John 1:1-10)
Introduction
· The Person & Work of Christ Attacked · Bad Doctrine – Bad Behavior · Docetism – “Seem to be” · Two Parts to Chapter 1
The First Part of Chapter One (vs. 1-4):
A. The Word of Life – Heard, Seen & Touched (v. 1-2)
1. The Invisible became visible (v. 1) - The Eternal Word – The 2nd Person of the Godhead (John 1:1) - Took on the Very Nature of Man, Not Phantom (Jn. 1:14)
2. The Manifested Word of Life Declared (v. 2) - The Source of Life, as Creator (Acts 17:25) - The Source of Spiritual Life, as Redeemer/Savior (Eph. 2:1-3; John 11:25-26)
B. The Reason the Word of Life/Eternal Life was Declared (v. 3)
· Fellowship (Amos 3:3) - With One Another - With the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ
C. The Purpose - Fullness of Joy in the Lord (v. 4)
Conclusion and Application · Do You Have the Fullness of Joy in the Lord? · Has Doubt & Unbelief Robbed You of that Joy found in Christ Alone? · Repent and Put Your Trust In the Word of Life, Eternal Life, with the Full Assurance that the Testimony of Apostle is True and Salvation Assured through Christ Jesus – He is the “Real Deal”!
