Chunks: The Letters of John

The final verses of 1 John read a bit like an executive summary of what came before. But it’s not just for the purpose of conveying information more efficiently. The pastoral purpose of the letter is to provide spiritual comfort to people who were rocked by the conflict that split the community. Thus, even as John pushes his readers to take sin seriously, he also wants to reassure them that they are indeed God’s children, kept safe from the devil’s clutches.
