Some people are forest people and some people are tree people. Forest people see the structure first and fill in the details, and tree people see the trees first and then get the structure. I tend to be a forest person. I never really feel I understand something until I see the structure.
I've been trying to get a handle on the underlying premises of I John. Here's what I've come up with. I would consider these a work in progress and subject to further clarification.
1. God has made known to us eternal life in the incarnation of his Son. This is the basis of our fellowship with Him and with others.
2. Those who have fellowship with God and are in Christ will be evident because they display his character-God is light and God is love- and have his Spirit.
