The First EpiStle of John is considered
as the last message to the Church of the
last of the Apostles. John in his youth
had been in the most intimate relations
with his beloved Master-nearer than
any other, and greatly beloved by the
Master In extreme old age he wrote his
Gospel and this Epistle. The great cen
traI teaching of this Epistle is that God
is light. The christian who is entitled to
to the distinction of being called Chris
tian, will not walk in darkness, but will
have the light of Gods love and wisdom
upon his acts and his life. The soul that
claims fellowship with God and walks
unseemly, is a liar-the love of the Faith
er does not shine with a sinful ray in the
son.
John teaches here that il we claim to
walk in the light of Gods love, such ex-
perience will be displayed in our acts.
one toward another. The love of the
Father does not make the children selfish
or ungenerous. But the blood of Jesus
Christ cleanses us from all sin. Beware
of the danger of claiming to be without
sin. No man is without sin, literally, as
long as he is in the world. If we confess
our sins. we may be readily forgiven
them, but if we claim to be free from sin,
we are in danger, for we thus dispute
the word of the Father himself.
John seeks to impress upon all the
beauty and Importance of living up to
profession, or not protesting anything be-
yond the fact shown by the life. Those
who profess to love God, and to desire to
walk in the light of his countenance
should possess that beauty of Christian
character which would convince all be-
holders that the life is full of Christiani-
ty and truth. 1t is the duty of every
Christian life to permit its light to shine
before men, and thus glorify the Father
