OK, chapter 3 is finally here. My sincere apologies again for being a week late. I'm determined to get us back on track.

We see in this chapter that John is echoing the words of Jesus he heard spoken as a young follower. So when his audience asks "what gospel do we follow," John can point them back to the source, Jesus himself.

We revisit some familiar themes such as abiding, the old/new commandment, and the practice of righteousness.

John also introduces a new theme of being called children of God, and as a child of God, we are marked with genetic markers of our Father. John says this is a lavish love that God has bestowed on us, and it's a love not of this earth. This unique and matchless love should fill us with confidence as we look forward the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as we approach our Father in prayer.
