The author of this letter is John, the son of Zebedee and the author of the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation. John has two basic purposes in mind in this letter: (1) to expose false teachers who deny, among other things, Jesus' humanity, and (2) to give believers assurance of salvation. John stresses God's love as an example for us to follow in our relationships with each other. He encourages believers to live right and to maintain truth by maintaining fellowship with the Lord.
I John
