1 John 1:4 Context
2(For the life was manifested, and we haue seene it, and beare witnes, and shew vnto you that eternall life which was with the Father, and was manifested vnto vs.) 3That which wee haue seene and heard, declare we vnto you, that ye also may haue felowship with vs; and truely our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Sonne Iesus Christ. 4And these things write we vnto you, that your ioy may be full. 5This then is the message which we haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenesse at all. 6If we say that we haue felowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not the trueth.

Wesley's Notes for 1 John 1:4
1:4 That your joy may be full - So our Lord also, #John 15:11|; #16:22|. There is a joy of hope, a joy of faith, and a joy of love. Here the joy of faith is directly intended. It is a concise expression. Your joy - That is, your faith and the joy arising from it: but it likewise implies the joy of hope and love.
