1 John 2:20-29
[20]But you have had the Holy Spirit poured out on you by Christ, and so all of you know the truth.
[21]I am writing to you, then, not because you do not know the truth; instead, it is because you do know it, and you also know that no lie ever comes from the truth.
[22]Who, then, is the liar? It is those who say that Jesus is not the Messiah. Such people are the Enemies of Christ — they reject both the Father and the Son.
[23]For all those who reject the Son also reject the Father; those who accept the Son have the Father also.
[24]Be sure, then, to keep in your hearts the message you heard from the beginning. If you keep that message, then you will always live in union with the Son and the Father.
[25]And this is what Christ himself promised to give us — eternal life.
[26]I am writing this to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
[27]But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit’s teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ.
[28]Yes, my children, remain in union with him, so that when he appears we may be full of courage and need not hide in shame from him on the Day he comes.
[29]You know that Christ is righteous; you should know, then, that everyone who does what is right is God’s child.
