I'm finishing up my last exercise for Reading Purposefully today.
#10 I John 5:13
" I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know you have eternal life."
The author, John is clearly a messenger of the truth as so much of the Bible is. I think this verse sums up the purpose pretty well here along with 2:1 which states "so that you will not sin." He presents doctrine openly and uses "we" often I think to both claim to represent other Christians with him and also it's as if the audience understands or is in the same boat to be held personally accountable. John addresses specific types of people and writes with a lot of instruction.
