Geoffrey's Note:
This outline was taken from a series of messages by Stephen Kaung on 1st John. I found the basic outline so helpful as a beginning point for studying this book. Most miss the section to do with Righteousness and only see light and love, or they see life, light, and love as three equals in this (possibly because they all begin with "L"?). So this is a great discovery that he made in the simple outline. Each of the Fellowship sections begins with something about God: God is light, He is righteous, God is love.
