"God is Light" and "God is Love".
As Light, there is no darkness in Him. As Love, God demonstrates pure and eternal love through Jesus Christ. This nature of God has implications for how believers should live, urging them to walk in the light and love one another.
A primary purpose of 1 John is to assure believers of their confidence and assurance in the Light of God,and their fellowship with Him. John emphasizes that he writes these things so that believers "may know that you have eternal life." Not to just think or hope, but to "know", without a shadow of doubt.
He also aims to help believers deepen their faith and understanding, particularly regarding the nature of God as light and love, and the importance of walking in that light and love.
