The apostle John wrote his first letter because his readers were at risk of deception through the activities of former members of their church who John labels antichrists, people who deny that Jesus is the Christ. John’s letter provides assurance for his readers, then and now, that if we abide (stay or remain) in the truth of who Christ is, in obedience to his commands and in generous, self-sacrificial love for his people, at his return we will have no need for shame but can look forward to that future event with confidence.
