This was a letter of encouragement and warning to Christians about love. John describes God's love in detail throughout the letter, and he encourages Christians by letting them know the depth of God's love for them. He also warns Christians to be careful about loving the things in the world and desiring things that lead to sin. It can be summed up as a letter instructing the right way to have love by imitating God's love, and the need to avoid loving the wrong things.

One major purpose for John's writing of 1 John was to encourage and strengthen the faith of believers. He wanted to reassure them of their salvation and deepen their understanding of God's love. Another purpose was to address the presence of false teaching and false prophets in the church, warning believers of their deceptive tactics and encouraging them to hold fast to the truth of the Gospel.
