1. AWARE OF THE TIME!
1 JOHN 2:18
“Last Hour” & “Antichrist(s)”
See 2 Peter 3:3-4; Jude 17-21
2. AWARE OF THE TRUTH
1 John 2:19-24
“Them” vs. “Us/We”
See Romans 16:17-18
See Ezekiel 36:26-27; John 14:26; 16:8-11
NOTE: The constant obsession for ‘the latest ideas’ and the ‘newest takes’ is a mark of something like the Athenians in Acts 17, not the New Testament Christians!
3. AWARE OF OUR TRIUMPH
1 John 2:27-29
- Walking in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16)
- Abiding in Him (John 15:4-5)
- Hungering for Righteousness (Matthew 5:6)
CHARGE: GRAB THAT PRECIOUS WORD OF GOD THIS WEEK…DIVE INTO THE PSALMS AND WORSHIP THE LORD – ABIDE IN HIM – LINGER A LITTLE LONGER ON YOUR KNEES
