The New life In Christ: As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. 1John 2:27.

But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit-just as it as taught you, remain in him. 1John 2:27.

This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 1John 3:11.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

 …let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us.

For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1John 3:17-20. Amen.
