Introduction123452 Peter2 John Introduction to 1 John
The Epistle of John has a peculiar character. It is eternal life manifested
in Jesus, and imparted to us- the life which was with the Father, and which
is in the Son. It is in this life that believers enjoy the communion of the
Father, that they are in relationship with the Father by the Spirit of
adoption, and that they have fellowship with the Father and the Son. God's
own character is that which tests it; because it proceeds from Himself.
