1 John: A 15-Day Devotional
This article is part of the ESV.org Reading Plans series.
For Everyday Christian Living
The book of 1 John is written as a caring pastor to his flock, encouraging them to carry on through difficult times. In the ESV Expository Commentary: Hebrews–Revelation (Volume 12) Ray Van Neste says, “One cannot love God without loving his people and his commands. As a result of this emphasis, [this letter is] rich with guidance for everyday Christian living.”
