John 1:4 – In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
John 1:4 – A Little Bit Startling and a Big Challenge
The Gospel of John was written near the end of the first century. It was a time when there were many new religions that were coming out of the Roman province of Asia (see Map 29).
The main theme of 1 John is that God loves and wants to save every single person. In fact, John tells us that Jesus is the one who will save all of humanity if they believe in Him.
This is a great message for anyone who has ever felt like their heart was just empty. There are so many people that are spiritually hungry and don’t know where to turn for help.
It is also a good reminder for us to trust in Christ alone as the way to find heavenly treasures. It is a powerful message that can change our lives forever!
In this chapter, the disciples ask Jesus a very challenging question. They wonder why He would come to a people who were so sinful.
However, when they get to know Him a little better, they realize that He is from God!
In this chapter, John shows us how God made the world and sent Jesus to free the world from evil. He also explains that this was possible because of the power of faith and love.
