All this being said, this section ultimately serves as a summary of all that has been said so far as a celebration of what we have in Christ.
Everything in this passage is applied to all believers and there is even overlap within the text.
We are going to look at these ideas individually rather than by stated audience
I. Believer’s sins are forgiven in Christ
Introduce the atonement
The individual aspect - Penal Substitutionary atonement
explain...
So, John is writing to them to assure them of their forgiveness of sin.
So the question here is, “Do you have sins that need forgiveness?”
Is the world broken
Is it observable?
What is the solution?
II.
Believers know the Father who has always been.
This passage tells us that believers not only are reconciled to God but know Him
We know him in two ways
As the One who is from the beginning.
(less personal- who He is)
As the One who is now our Father.
(more personal- how He is)
III.
Believers have overcome the evil one.
Christus Victor
IV.
Believers are given the strength and knowledge for life
14b I write you you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you
Conclusion
Assurance, Perseverance
