1 John 2:18-21 Sermon: The Last Hour: Truth, Lies, and the Antichrist

John warns believers in 1 John 2:18-21 that they are living in the last days, marked by the presence of antichrists—those who deny Jesus Christ—and calls them to stand firm in the truth. He distinguishes true believers from false teachers, emphasizing that those who have left the church were never truly part of it, as genuine faith is marked by perseverance. Encouraging the faithful, John assures them that they have been anointed by the Holy Spirit, enabling them to know and remain in the truth of the gospel.
