Description

"Why?"I do not know why you chose to take a look at this book, but I'm glad that you did. Should you purchase this book, it is my hope that it will aid you in your walk with Christ. But why did I choose to write this book? I would like to share 3 of those reasons with you.The first reason pertains to the nature of this book: it is an exposition of 1 John. Do not let the word "exposition" scare you; it simply means to expose. I want to expose the meaning of God's Word. That is what all good Bible teachers seek to do, after all. I could have written a topical book, and topical studies can be helpful. But my conviction is that going through a book of the Bible one word at a time, one phrase at a time, one verse at a time, leaving no stone unturned, is the most effective way to study and teach God's Word. It seems to me that only the seasoned theologians with a firm grasp on the entire Bible can write a topical book without taking verses out of context and covering everything that needs to be taught. Further, the best topical helps are often the product of many hours spent doing proper exposition and exegesis (a fancy word us snobs like to use for Bible study).My second reason pertains to conviction. All of God's Word is inspired. The Bible does not simply contain the words of God, it is the Word of God. But it seems to me that even the best expositional preachers emphasize certain doctrines throughout their ministry. It is their heartbeat. It is what drives them. While they are faithful to the full counsel of God, certain convictions shine through. Oftentimes, these emphases come about because of false teachings that godly men have identified and seek to expose. Martin Luther greatly emphasized justification by faith because of the works-based salvation that was so prevalent in his day. Dr. John MacArthur has taught extensively on lordship salvation - the belief that you cannot know Christ as Savior without also knowing Him as Lord. Jesus is both Savior and Lord, and to have one without the other is to have a false Jesus. When MacArthur wrote The Gospel According to Jesus years ago, he wrote on that very subject because many professing Christians believed that they were saved, but they were not living for Jesus. He argued that when a person truly gets saved, then they will submit to Jesus. Several years and many books later, he continues to return to this theme, and the church should thank God for his work in this particular realm of theology. For me, I continue to return to 1 John time and time again because it speaks to the greatest problem I see in America today. No, it does not talk about the economy or politics. America's greatest problem is false conversions. Our country is populated by people who think that because they prayed a prayer and asked Jesus into their heart, they are definitely going to heaven. That is the greatest lie that Satan is feeding us, and we gulp it down without even chewing. Not once in Scripture are we told to ask Jesus into our hearts. If you are basing your salvation on a past event and you are not walking with Christ, then you probably did not get saved to begin with. When you become a Christian, evidence of your conversion must follow. John tells us what that evidence is in this epistle. I have a burden for those who are practicing a "Fire Insurance Christianity." I want to cut through this false belief with the sword that John fashioned in this epistle.My third reason pertains to legacy. There are two dear people God has given me to lead and serve. While just about everyone I know calls me Jonathan, these two people call me Daddy. This book is for them. I want to leave behind a book for them that explains the Christian life in clear terms. I want to go before them and light the way with biblical truth so that they may know Jesus more deeply than I ever did, as well as worship Him with more zeal than I ever could.
