Publisher's Synopsis
Bob Yandian delves into John's letters, verse by verse, using context and his own pastoral sagacity to illuminate John's messages. In doing so, Pastor Yandian first provides historical and biblical background-including observance of the original Greek language-to bring alive the truths in John's three letters. Pastor Yandian then encourages modern believers to apply these truths in response to God's pure and unfailing love.
Important Johannine themes Pastor Yandian explores in this commentary include:
- The crucial differences between relationship and fellowship with GodThe reality of and remedy for sin in the believer's lifeThe outworking of sanctificationThe saving power of true doctrine The discerning power of the Holy Spirit within
In this commentary, not only can readers expect valuable insight into the beloved apostle's writings, but they can also expect a gentle nudge to be more like Jesus and less like the modern Church which, like the Ephesians, has forgotten its first love.
