1 John 2:22-26 CEB

[22] Who is the liar? 

Isn't it the person who denies that Jesus is the Christ? 

This person is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son.

Everyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 

As for you, 

what you heard from the beginning must remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you will also remain in relationship to the Son and in the Father.

This is the promise that he himself gave us: eternal life.

I write these things to you about those who are attempting to deceive you. 

1 John 2:22-26 CEB

Maybe you have been caught up in arguments about the inerrancy of the Bible, or End Times, or something...or maybe there are days when we can't make sense of the world and the decisions of others...John is reminding his readers of this letter to come back to the heart of the Big Story:

Jesus is who he said he is.

Follow Jesus, and everything else flows from that.

Jesus is who he said he is, then my faith in him welcomes me into the Eternal, the barriers are gone, Love is not constrained, and while we get glimpses of that, one day, that will be our entire reality, a living in and with The Eternal...

John encourages us to keep coming back to Jesus, he's got us.
