A Solemn Warning to God’s Children

11321 W St. Martins Road Franklin, WI 53132 414-431-0532 Pastor Ken Prodzinski 6-5-2022 That You May Know: A Solemn Warning to God’s Children: (1 John 2:18-27) Summary: As John concluded his introductory section that began in vs. 12, which we began to examine last week. Remember, first, he began with a commendation to his little children (Teknion). This was followed by an exhortation to not love the world or the things in the world. He then reminded them that if they loved the world the love that they claim to have for the Father is not valid. Today, he now gives them a solemn warning where he reminds them of four essential things: First, they are to realize that it is the last hour. Second, they are to recognize those who have defected from orthodox teaching. Third, they are to remember their divine anointing. Fourth, they are to retain the gospel message that they heard from the beginning. I. Little Children and Their Realization of the Last Hour: (vs. 18) II. Little Children and Their Recognition of the Deceivers: (vs. 19) III. Little Children and Their Remembrance of Divine Anointing: (vs. 20) IV.
