Letters of Love

John's Epistles are often overlooked. This author has seen the need to emphasize them and has brought us to the heart of John's concerns with God's children. Like all commentary, more could be written, but this author has brought the right measure to his work, and it will be spiritually productive. He has brought out very well the reality of the love of God in the Christian life, Unfortunately, in so much of today's Christianity, assurance of salvation is nothing more than trusting one's profession of faith, rather than the object of one's faith! Elder Roberts' discussion of assurance is to the point.
