Many Hands Holding a Heart of Love Together
New Testament

1 John: The Fruit of Fellowship with Christ

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. (1 John 5:13-14)

John was one disciple who was dramatically changed by our Lord. He was a hot-headed young man, given to sharp and impulsive utterances with a tendency toward blowing off steam. But John became the apostle of love, noted for his gentleness, graciousness and goodness.
