1 John part 3

Intro

continuing John’s letter to the church

making choices, something similar

the World

where are you putting your love?

going back to what we talked about before

walk the way he walks and it will lead you to life

if you walk the way the world does, it will lead to passing away

things that are away from God do not last

all of these things are yours to choose but you can’t have your cake and eat it too

the Antichrists

what is the antichrist?

what is the last hour?

simply one who denies the Father and the Son

fancy language to say anyone who refuses to believe for whatever reason they may have

he speaks of them as though they knew the truth at one point but ran away from it

those who try to deceive you, like we talked about what the opposer wants the other day

you are anointed, the savior lives in you, the mystery and the plan are lived out by you now

but all of that is up to you

Application

choose and stay where there is life

don’t be led away, even if it is only a little bit farther off

even if it makes sense in the moment

being away from him, even just a little, is just enough to be against Christ
