About John's first letter
John who wrote this letter was the apostle John. He also wrote two other letters (2 John and 3 John), as well as John's Gospel and the book of Revelation.
These three letters have ideas very like those that John wrote about in his Gospel. The Gospel and these letters all speak about God's love and the light that God gives. When John speaks about light, he means that God shows us the truth. This means that we can live in a way that pleases him. If people are living in the dark, they do not know the truth.
John also talks about the world in a special way. People who belong to the world are people who do not know God.
John's Gospel tells people about Jesus and his life. It tells people how Jesus is the way to know God. John shows that Jesus is the Son of God. He wanted people to know that Jesus had died to save them. He wrote these letters to help people who already believe in Jesus. He tells believers how God wants them to live. He also wrote this letter to speak against the message of false teachers that some Christians had heard.
