New research increasingly points to plural Christianity and dialogic relations with other cultures and religions, a fact that forces a new view of context in early Christian memories and literature. Among the vast literature of the early centuries of Christianity, particularly that of the Johannine tradition stands out. We have come to the conclusion that the Johannine texts we have today are certainly the fruit of a long and complex writing process. Beginning around 50 CE with oral accounts of Jesus promulgated and interpreted according to the reading made by these communities. Over time they were modified with additions and rereading. Within this perspective we propose an expectation present in such writings: Christomorphy. Through the analysis of a canonical writing such as I John 3: 1-10, we will analyze the Johannine literature arising from its communal memories and its christomorphic hope. Noting the issue of the existing conflict and possibly leading to dissension, the text of 1 John is an attempt to affirm the identity of a community. Attention should be paid to the fact that Gnostic thought was present in the reality of some communities, including belonging to the apostle John, which probably led to a more forceful defense of the issue. At the apex of this defense we find clues about the christomorphic expectation in the Johannine memory literatures. Therefore, in the text we highlight we realize that the identity of the community in 1 John permeates the idea of a future nature such as that of Christ.
