John writes this letter to address some concerns which sound very much like contemporary questions.
Does doctrine matter?
Is Jesus the only way to God?
Is Jesus sufficient?
Interesting that people who say that they have no creed but Christ, or Jesus not doctrine are in reality expressing a creed or a doctrine. Doctrine does matter because it expresses what we really do believe. What they really should be concerned about is not whether or not doctrine matters but are they pointing to a set of laws or rules rather than to Christ?
