- G4 1 John 1:3 What was John’s motivation in sharing his own experiences? What is the connection between what John proclaimed and this fellowship he was after?
- G5 Read 1 John 1:3 explore this idea of being the mutual friend between your non-Christian friends and Jesus. How could you go about making the introduction?
- G6 Why does John’s act of “remembering and proclaiming” make John’s joy complete? What do you think it means to have complete joy? Do you think this is attainable?
