Addresses on the Epistles of John

In his own inimitable and clear-cut style, Dr. Ironside has compiled plain, practical expositions on these four letters. Although combined into one volume for ready reference, they are studied and expounded separately and distinctly. The outstanding theme and individual message of each is presented here. The Apostle John stressed truth for the family of God, with the believer looked upon as one born again into the divine family. The Epistles of John and the book of Revelation were the last given by the Spirit of God for our edification. Dr. Ironside writes, "We may be sure of this much -- that as God reserved the writings of the Apostle John for the close of the apostolic age, He kept the best wine until last." I John is the Epistle of eternal life as seen in Christ and communicated by Christ to those who believe in Him. It shows us the way into fellowship with God, for He wants His people to be in communion with Him. II John is a letter warning a Christian woman against false teachers. We learn what our individual attitude should be as long as the Church is in the place of testimony. In III John, through the apostle's instruction to Gaius, we learn what our behavior should be toward those who love Christ and proclaim His truth. The Epistle of Jude is especially suggestive and helpful to those bewildered and endangered by the evils of our day. Jude plainly and forcibly depicted these in the apostolic period. Warning against error in doctrine and carelessness in life, he pleads with Christians to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. -- Jacket flap.
