1 John 2B

This week we are in 1 John 2:15-29. John talks about remaining in Christ but first he talks about two things that are outside of Christ: the world and the spirit of antichrist. There is a big difference between being in Christ and outside of Christ.

In Christ we have the truth. In Christ we are in the light. In Christ we have fellowship with the Father through the Son. In Christ we have the anointing of the Holy Spirit. In Christ we have eternal life.

Outside of Christ is the world. Outside of Christ is the spirit of antichrist. Outside of Christ is darkness. Outside of Christ are things that can draw us away from Christ. Outside of Christ are things that will pass away.

John calls us to remain in Jesus. Jesus said the same thing, “Remain in me”.

How do we “Remain in Him”?
