1John

The First Epistle Of John, by the witness of internal evidence and comparison with the Gospel of John, was manifestly written by the Apostle John. It is a family letter from the Father to His "dear children" who are in the world. With the possible exception of the Song of Solomon, it is the most intimate of the inspired writings. The sin of a Christian is treated as a child's offense against his Father, and is dealt with as a family matter. The moral government of the universe is not on question. The child's sin as an offense against the law has been met in the cross, and "Jesus Christ the Righteous One" is now the "one who speaks to the Father in our defense." John's Gospel leads across the threshold of the Father's house; his First Epistle makes us at home there. A tender word is used for "children", a diminutive meaning little children, born-ones as e.g. the Scottish "bairns." Whereas Paul is occupied with the Christian's public position as a son, John has in mind the believer's nearness as one born of the Father.
