S - I John 1-2:11
1:4 These things we write so that our joy may be complete
1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and jsut and will forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
3 Main points:
1. John had first hand experience with Jesus: he saw him, he touched him, and heard him. So, I can trust that he is writing this book out of concern for the fellow believer to help us understand joy in Christ.
2. Confession is key to my relationship with Christ. This has been on my mind heavily through this whole reading. I'm not confessing enough and that leaves me in a broken relationship. I don't want a broken relationship or darkness I want a clear heart for Christ.
3. I have to love my fellow believer in Christ no matter what they do to annoy me or drive me crazy. To have a relationship with Christ I have to stay out of the darkness of hatred and love at all costs.
