18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. 20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise that he made to us - eternal life.26 I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. 27 But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie - just as it has taught you, abide in him.

“They” = False Teachers

22

• Predicted by the Apostle Paul (Acts 20:28-31)

• Syncretism ‐ Mix of Greek philosophy & eastern mysticism (Egypt, Syria, Persia) ‐ Extreme pluralism (“many paths to truth”)

• Gnosticism (gnosis = “knowledge”; secret knowledge)

‐ Plato: Matter is Evil, Spirit is Good

• Docetic Gnosticism (dokein = “seem”)

‐ Jesus was Christ, but only seemed to have a physical body (allusion) ‐ Pure Spirit only (denied the Incarnation & Jesus’ humanity)

• Cerinthian Gnosticism (named after Cerinthus, c. AD 100)

‐ Jesus was a mere man (denied Jesus’ divinity) ‐ Christ came upon Jesus at baptism & departed before crucifixion

• Results:‐ Harsh treatment of body ‐ Licentious (immoral) living

3. Obedience to God results in Faith in His Son (1 John 5:4-5)

4. Faith in Jesus; Christ before/at baptism & at/after death (1 John 5:6-8)

5. Divine witness to Christ is worthy of complete belief (1 John 5:9-13)

6. Belief produces confident access to God in prayer (1 John 5:14-17)

Intercessory prayer is a manifestation of love for others (complete circle)
