Despite the fact that this is an introduction to the book, there are lots of cool things in this passage. You can check out some material to help through these verses here.

Here are some questions to help you think through these verses:

1. Who is the letter from?

2. How does he describe himself?

3. What does he say about the gospel?

4. What does he say about God’s Son? What is He, according to whom?

5. What does he say about His apostles?

6. Who is the letter to?

7. What is the greeting?

8. What is the overall context for this letter, personally, theologically and historically?

9. How do you fit into that context?

10. What is your responsibility in that context?
