The First Epistle of John is one of the most explicit and remarkable letters of the New Testament. With straightforward language, it offers great theological insight into themes and topics that are at the foundation of one's relationship with God. This epistle is densely packed with fundamental truths concerning God's nature, Christ's divinity, and the believer's walk with God based upon His criteria.

John's other two epistles (2 John and 3 John) are often ignored due to their brevity and alleged insignificance. However, they offer us poignant and revealing glimpses into the personal nature of early Christian correspondence, as well as internal challenges facing the early church.

The Epistle of Jude is also easily ignored due to its brevity, unusual writing style, and alleged lack of theological importance. Jude's writing style is indeed poetic, passionate, and often dark-but his essential message is exactly what Christians today need to hear.
