Themes in 1 John: Love, Righteousness, and Belief Theme #3 - Belief Forest Hills Bible Chapel 4 October 2009

Some Key Views of Gnosticism 1. Humanity’s great problem is not sin; it is a lack of knowledge, secret knowledge, that God reveals to only a select few. But see 1 John 1:5-10; 2:20-21, The world, the created order, is inherently evil, because it is material in nature. But see 1 John 2:15-17.

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief 1. We must understand the distinction between Christ and the antiChrist – 2:18-23.

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.

For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

Studies in 1 John #3 - Belief 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Messiah. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. – 2: But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Messiah.

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief 1. We must understand the distinction between Christ and the antiChrist – 2: We must believe in the incarnation of Jesus – 1 John 4:1-3

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 4:1-3 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 4:1-3

Some Key Views of Gnosticism 1. We must understand the distinction between Christ and the antiChrist – 2: We must believe in the incarnation of Jesus – 1 John 4: We must believe that Jesus is the Son of God – 1 John 4:13-15

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2 This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3 In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world.

Studies in 1 John: #3 - Belief This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 5 Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
