John commands believers to test the spirits because many false prophets have gone into the world. The true confession centers on Jesus Christ come in the flesh. He then develops the theme that God is love: God loved first, sent His Son as propitiation, and His love should shape believers’ love for one another. Perfected love gives boldness and casts out tormenting fear.
