John writes First John 1 on behalf of the other apostles. They were filled with excitement! They not only heard, but saw with their own eyes and touched the Word of Life-Jesus Christ. The Word of God was written so that “our joy may be complete.” So if you are searching for true happiness and complete joy, here it is: this old, precious, holy book holds the map to our true happiness, joy and satisfaction. Even in the midst of our darkness, there is hope. Hope, because God is light and He can shine through us. Only if He is in you, spiritual darkness cannot exist in you.
