Lesson 5004

 (Lesson 5004) (10-13-25) 1st John 2:21-29 

   “I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.” 

 

  Today’ quote reminds us that we already know the truth and don’t need to be misled by false teachers. John warned that liars deny Jesus as the Christ, and by doing so, they also deny the Father. True believers, however, hold firmly to what they’ve been taught from the beginning and remain in fellowship with both the Father and the Son. He encouraged us to continue living in Christ so we won’t be left out when He returns. In modern terms: stay grounded in what’s true, don’t be fooled by people who deny Jesus, and keep your faith strong so you’ll be well grounded in faith when He comes again. ~
