1 John 1-2

It's all about fellowship, and with whom you fellowship. John reminded his readers that his fellowship was with God the Father and Jesus the Son (vs 1:3). But John is not name dropping. He is extending an invitation to his readers; "You too can have the same divine fellowship as I have. Listen to what I have to say and put my words into practice." It is not the words that produce the fellowship, but rather the fruit of those words in our lives that lead us into eternal fellowship with God.
