Why is 1st John Not the Place to Go For Assurance of Salvation But John’s Gospel Is?

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. On today’s episode, Bob and Shawn will be comparing the gospel of John and 1 John. Specifically, the guys will address the issue of assurance in these two books. Is it okay to use 1 John as evidence for eternal security? Why or why not? We will hear the guys unpack the purpose statements of these two books and how we can use them appropriately within their contexts. The guys will also address some common pitfalls for those who are studying 1 John. These, and many more issues will be addressed on today’s show. We hope you join us as we seek to keep grace in focus.
