3-1 John 2:18-27

 1)1 John 2:18-19, 

The Great Falling Away

(What do you think when professing Christians turn from what they once seemed to believe and hold on to?)

2)1 John 2:20-21,

You are anointed. Sealed by the Spirit

(What does it mean to be anointed? Can you lose the anointing? Is the anointing something you need to work up or rest in?

3)1 John 2:22-23,

Defining the Antichrist 

(How does the Bible define the Anti Christ?)

4)1 John 2:24-25,

Hold on to what you received from the beginning 

(Why is it important to know what God has given you and to hold onto it?)

5)1 John 2:26-27

The anointing teaches you

Nothing will convict and guide you personally like God’s word. 

1) 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (ESV): Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction

2)John 4:10–14 (ESV): Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

2)Ephesians 1:13–14 (ESV): In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. 

3)1 Corinthians 12:3 (ESV): Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit. 

3)Matthew 16:16–17 (ESV): Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.

4) Ephesians 6:13 (ESV): Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

4) Galatians 3:1–5 (ESV): O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? 4 Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith—

5) John 14:25–26 (ESV): These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

5) John 16:13–14 (ESV): When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
