PETER BARNES
In these days of spiritual and moral decline we stand in the particular need of the message of John’s epistles. We need to test ourselves first to see where we stand before God and then, with charity of heart an clarity of mind, we need to test the claims of others too. That is why John’s epistles are so important for us. With good reason Martin Luther wrote of 1 John ‘I have never read a book written in simpler words than this one, and yet the words are so inexpressible’.
