1 John 2:18-29
The Enemy of Christ
Children, this is the last hour. You heard that the enemy of Christ
would appear at this time, and many of Christ's enemies have already
appeared. So we know that the last hour is here. These people came
from our own group, yet they were not part of us. If they had been
part of us, they would have stayed with us. But they left, which
proves that they did not belong to our group. Christ, the Holy One,
has blessed you, and now all of you understand. I did not need to
write you about the truth, since you already know it. You also know
that liars do not belong to the truth. And a liar is anyone who says
that Jesus isn't truly Christ. Anyone who says this is an enemy of
Christ and rejects both the Father and the Son. If we reject the Son,
we reject the Father. But if we say that we accept the Son, we have
the Father. Keep thinking about the message you first heard, and you
will always be one in your heart with the Son and with the Father.
The Son has promised us eternal life. I am writing to warn you about
those people who are misleading you. But Christ has blessed you with
the Holy Spirit. Now the Spirit stays in you, and you don't need any
teachers. The Spirit is truthful and teaches you everything. So stay
one in your heart with Christ, just as the Spirit has taught you to
do.
Children of God
Children, stay one in your hearts with Christ. Then when he returns,
we will have confidence and won't have to hide in shame. You know
that Christ always does right and that everyone who does right is a
child of God."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
