FROM THIS WEEK:

1 John 2:21-23

²¹ So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and falsehood. ²² And who is the great liar? The one who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Such people are antichrists, for they have denied the Father and the Son. ²³ Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father either. But anyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.
