… In the opening verses, there's talk of children, of God the Father and the Father's Son. There's language of love and of the home. And in the closing verses, there are allusions to visiting, to face-to-face fellowship. And this highlights something central to our faith and to the context in which we're called to live it out. And that is that the church is family. The church is a family. So don't let the letter size fool you like that little blue book. It carries far more weight than its size suggests. And what it shows us is what it looks like to be a family gathered by the truth, walking in love, guarding the sun, and enjoying fellowship. That family thread is going to run through these four points this morning. A family gathered by the truth, verses 1 to 3. A family walking in love, verses 4 to 6. A family guarding the son, verses 7 to 11. And a family enjoying fellowship, verses 12 to 13. So this letter, this letter begins with the elder and the elect lady and her children. …
This is the commandment, just as you've heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and doesn't abide in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and doesn't bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting. For whoever greets him takes part in his evil works. so let God be God and every man a liar What a privilege to be shepherds of God's people! What a challenge! Be strong in the strength that is ours in Christ Jesus. Father, thank you for the day. Thank you for the privilege of being in each other's company. …
… antichrist spirit, which we have heard was coming and is now already in the world. 2 John 1, verse 7 says, for many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. That's pretty clear, everybody. There's the spirit. Are you guys okay? You're really quiet. You scared? Are you nervous? If somebody starts whistling over here in the dark, we'll have to address that. You'll be okay. so Satan's desire is to create an atmosphere that is antichrist the spirit of and by deception he will produce so to speak disciples in his own image they are deceivers they are antichrists but his crowning glory Satan will be his producing of the antichrist. And so let's dive in now to our second part, which we have not gotten to. So this is fresh tonight. The days of the antichrist. Number two is this truth will be the only weapon against deception. Please mark that down. Truth will be the only thing against deception. And it's the only hope that you have. Please don't let me being a mere mortal in the words that I'm saying be lost in translation. What I just said is eternal truth, and I want to say it again. Truth will be, every day, more and more, truth every day will be your greatest weapon against deception, and the truth is God's words. Friends, listen up, young and old. More Bible knowledge, the wiser …
… Next verse. 2 John 1, verse 7. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. I'm not going to name some of the cults that say that, but they are antichrist. I want you to run through this list. We don't have much time. I can't believe this. We're just going to go fast. so the antichrist by titles and names watch this everybody and you know what for time's sake this is this is not even all of them this is not all of them this is the old testament names and allusions to antichrist he's known as the adversary that doesn't surprise anybody but he's known as the adversary interestingly enough he's known as the assyrian uh and nimrod nimrod typology, allusion.
