Overview

In the first two letters, John writes against deceivers, false prophets, antimessiahs. We can’t be sure exactly who these people were that John was challenging because there were so many religious movements, as well as political ones, in the first century. But in several places John emphasizes the physicality of Jesus—that he had a body—and warns his readers to reject those who say Jesus did not come in the flesh. Such a belief looks suspiciously like one religious movement that came to be known as Gnosticism. John emphasizes that the Spirit enables us to bear witness to what the Father has done in sending the Son. He reminds us forcefully that such witness must of course come not in word only but also in deed, as we read in 1 John 3:18. Our love must come in the flesh, just as God’s love did in Jesus.
