Why is 1 John Not About Assurance of Salvation but John’s Gospel Is?

January 18, 2021     1Jn 5:13., Jn 20:30-31, Purpose Statements

In today’s episode, Shawn and Bob will be taking a look at the purpose of 1 John, in contrast to the gospel of John. Many bible students come to 1 John 5:13 and view it as the purpose statement for the whole book. Is that the correct way to see this verse? The guys will be unpacking this verse and many more in 1 John to hopefully bring some clarity to the issue.
