May his blessing be upon us.

1 John 2 : 20 - 25
Chapter 2
| 20 | But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
|
| 21 | I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
|
| 22 | Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
|
| 23 | Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
|
| 24 | Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.
|
| 25 | And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.
|
Do not love the world or the things in the world.
The world passes away, and its desires; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
Amen.
