John issued a call to believers that feels impossible. But he desired that by his encouragement and the truth of the Holy Spirit speaking through him, his readers would not sin. He also wanted to convey to them the forgiveness and grace available to believers when we do sin. Pastor David explains John’s reasons for writing his letters to the church. If you are a follower of Christ, you should feel the conviction to live a life of obedience and a desire to walk without sin. Ultimately this should be your your heart’s desire.
