John is the last apostle and his mission is to call the church back to the first and vital things. The heart of John's letter is an invitation to fellowship with the Father that makes for joy, righteousness, truth and assurance.

The call to fellowship is John's strategy for believers against the primary issue of the last days which is the drifting from truth caused by deception and falsehood.

We examine these broad themes in detail in this episode and conclude with John's call to lay down our idols so that we can come into the revelatory knowledge of God that is designed to complete us.
