1John 2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.{Or, "know what is true." Or, "know all things."} 2:21 I have not written to you because you don't know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
John's teachings here confounds law Christian's that live in a state of fear because their own salvation depends upon them being able through some religious doctrinal knowledge to save themselves. Yes, knowledge of every thought of the bible is their salvation, perfect knowledge, saves them, it is their light, and it is self gotten through hours of study.
But John has no fear, his letter is not fear driven, he knows what few law Christian's ever come to know, which is, YHWH anointing teaches His own children, just like all good Fathers, they don't expect some else to teach their children, making them illegitimate, such as an organization. The Father and His love is known to each child of God, they are not mislead regarding the Royal Law of love, the very life of Christ Jesus in them, who loved his Father perfectly is what they are a part of. God is not handing his children a serpent instead of a fish, he is not hiding his face from his own children like a bad father who is cruel to his offspring, no!
Matt.7:7 "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. 7:8 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. 7:9 Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 7:10 Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? 7:11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
John was saying trust God, but how, by the anointing in you, rest in faith knowing everything you need for this life and the one to come has been given you in the life of Christ Jesus, nothing will go unfinished by fighting over the fleshly doctrine, faith in your Father's love is the key. God conceived you into a new birth, not some man, or organization, God chose you, not that you chose him by some new teachings. There is no other faithful witness in heaven or upon earth than the one you have already received. Anyone teaching you not to trust this, is a false teachers.
Yes, faith, faith in what the bible, a religion, a person, no! Not at all, but the witness in them that comes from a faithful God who cannot lie or mislead them, yes, resting in the life of Christ Jesus as truth, a truth that has changed their own heart and mind, into a new creation, with a new personality. This is not rocket science, this is truth, not ideology, or theory, this is the life which has become your new life; is the Creator of heaven and earth going to abandon His own children?
