Today's Bible Translation
Bible translation used in today's episode: Ch. 1- 3 GWT
Podcast Introduction
It’s Epistles Sunday, and we’ll read 1 John 1-3. We’ll also have a time of praises and prayer requests. I’m calling this episode “An Open Letter from John.“

Summary
In Chapter 1, John starts by showing that Jesus is the Word and says that Jesus has existed since the beginning. John personally witnessed Jesus and emphasizes that through Jesus, we can connect with God and other believers like a family. It's stressed that just claiming to believe isn't enough; we must also love one another. The chapter ends with the key idea that God forgives our sins when we confess them because of what Jesus did.
Moving to Chapter 2, John continues by saying that Jesus vouches for us before God the Father, asking for forgiveness on our behalf when we sin. This is because of Jesus' sacrifice. It's amazing that we're talked about by Jesus and the Father. When we do make mistakes, Jesus asks God to forgive us. This is incredibly reassuring.
