1, 2, & 3 John

The apostle John wrote his epistles near the end of his life, affectionately addressing his readers and desiring that they be grounded in the truth and certainty of the gospel. John proclaimed eternal life in Jesus that we might have fellowship with one another and with God, that our joy may be complete and that we might not sin. John concluded: "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life." This study guide on 1, 2, & 3 John was written by Dr. Curtis Vaughan (1924–2005) who served as Distinguished Professor of New Testament at Southwestern in 1950. He helped train thousands of pastors, missionaries, and church leaders through his writings and classroom instruction.
