The following is taken from the commentaries of F.E. Marsh – now available at the new Blue Letter Bible beta site!

 Twenty-four times throughout the first Epistle of John is Jesus said to be the Son of God.

  1. What did God send His Son to be and do?
    That we might live (4:9).
    To be a Saviour (4:14).
    To be a Propitiation (4:10).
    To destroy the works of the devil (3:8).
  2. The result of believing in Him as the Son of God
    We have eternal life (5:12).
    We know it (5:13).
    We have the witness (5:10).
    We are in Him (5:20).
    We know He has come (5:20).
    God dwelleth in us (4:15).
    We have the Father and Son (2 John 9).
  3. The proof that we believe in Him as the Son of God.
    Believe on His Name (2:23; and 5:13).
    Acknowledge Him as the Son (2:23).
    Confess Him as the Son of God (4:15).
    Have fellowship with Him (1:3).
    Continue in Him (2:24).
    That we know His blood cleanseth us from all sin (1:7).
    Overcome the world (5:5).
  4. Those who disbelieve that He is the Son of God,
    Make God a liar (5:10).
    Have not eternal life (5:12).

    Yes, this is very important in light of the fact that I John is written to Israel going through the tribulation period. Therefore, they need to trust in Jesus as the Christ, as opposed to following the Antichrist.

    I believe in the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He is God. Why are there some Christians that do not believe this? Where is it in scripture that shows either way?
