Overall Topic and Theme: A Life that never ends
Study on 1 John Chapter 1
Themes:
Fellowship with God
Confession of Sin
God’s Nature and Character (Light and Purity)
Christian Living and Responsibility
1 John 1 challenges us to reflect upon our own lives, emphasizing the importance of fellowship, transparency, confession, and forgiveness. John's profound words remind us that God is light, and to truly fellowship with Him, we must walk in the light, live in truth, and willingly admit our shortcomings. In doing so, we can experience the full joy that comes from an authentic relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
1 John 1 sets the foundation for the Apostle John’s first epistle, speaking passionately about fellowship with God and Jesus Christ. The chapter emphasizes God’s nature as light and the vital necessity for Christians to live and walk in this light, confessing their sins and seeking forgiveness.

2. What implications does the statement "God is light" have on our daily living?

10. How does John use contrast (light/dark, truth/lie) to communicate his message?
11. What can you take away from the phrase "His truth is not in us" when we deny our sins? How can this be applied to real-life situations?
12. How can we use the message in this chapter to guide our interactions with others?
13. In what ways can you increase your fellowship with God and others, as suggested by this chapter?
