1John.2:22 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. 2:23 Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. 2:24 Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father. 2:25 This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life. 2:26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
The apostle John now speaks to the truth of his whole letter to God's anointed children, what is that truth? It is the Spirit that is truth! Yes, the Spirit that they had received from the beginning of their anointing into, where? Into the eternal life, who's eternal life? The Christ, the life he gained by his perfect precious obedience to God his Father YHWH.
1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
John 17:2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him.
1 John 1:2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
There is not doubt the eternal life indwelling these brothers was the only truth they needed to obey, listen to, and be loyal to. There was no other truth found anywhere under the Sun or in heaven that matter, it was just that simple, anything less than the Spirit was a lie for those born again into the Christ the eternal life. Anything outside of Christ life, the eternal life for these brothers were of the world and a lie, no matter how wonderful and grand it made them feel it was not the truth promised them by the Father in their anointing.
John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
John 6:27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."
Matthew 19:29 Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.
Christ is not of this world, he belong to none of it, he was not birthed by flesh and blood to continue a legacy of human kings on earth. No Christ was birthed by God's Spirit anointed to bring life to many that would love the Father more than this world. Christ gave up his life on earth when he accepted God's anointing from heaven, he was born into God, because he had no sins. He than started God's ministry to bring forth a new creation of children for God by Holy Spirit to worship in Spirit and truth. Nothing of their past life in the flesh was recorded and kept record of, why? They were a new creation unlike the old of Israel where human record, history was mandatory to keep the fleshly nation in proper control.
John.1:11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him. 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: 1:13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, "Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew,{The word translated "anew" here and in John 3:7 (anothen) also means "again" and "from above".} he can't see the Kingdom of God."
John 18:36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."
We find a void a chasm between the history of the Jews and the apostles, nothing of their fleshly lives matters, or needed recorded as if to give them creditability with flesh, no none! Their creditability came from the highest place God, with the stamp of approval the Spirit, yes, the Spirit is the truth the flesh is the lie! However, soon, in fact, right at the time of John's writing the antichrist was at work, working at doing what?
John 5:41 I don't receive glory from men.
John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Working at giving the glory back to flesh, the legacy of men claiming to be important members of the body of Christ. This is what was causing confusion, and deception because it promoted that which is against Christ, that is, anti, and what is against Christ? The very thing each member of the body of Christ should be dead in, the flesh.
Romans 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.
Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.
2 Corinthians 1:17 When I therefore was thus determined, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be the "Yes, yes" and the "No, no?"
2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.
Yes, the sinful flesh God dealt with for thousand's of years by the law for sin and corruption of the flesh, the very law Christ fulfilled and put away stripping the power of fleshly Israel was making its way insidiously into the body of Christ that must worship in Spirit and truth. Yes, men teaching flesh instead of Spirit and truth. Men bent on making a name, a legacy upon earth in their flesh for all the world to know and wonder in amazement at!
1 Corinthians 12:25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
Acts 4:26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ{Christ (Greek) and Messiah (Hebrew) both mean Anointed One.}.'{Psalm 2:1-2}
Mark.10:42 Jesus summoned them, and said to them, "You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 10:43 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant. 10:44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all. 10:45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
These brothers need not wonder, or worry the Spirit is the truth, the Spirit rejects the flesh and its weak mundane reasoning as of no value at all. There was no trick God had not now said become part of the world and make a lasting name for Christianity, no! That is not the pattern of the Spirit that is truth, the Christ the eternal they live in. The message was the same never changing the truth can't change or its not the truth, if it were not truth it would be flesh that changes from minute to minute like the lie always adapting to cover up it lies and bad fruit making it appear beautiful to those perishing in their sins. Acts 8:33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."{Isaiah 53:7,8}
Matthew 10:24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
Yes! Out is not in Christ, out is against Christ, but why? Because there is no other place for God's Spirit, if we are not in Christ than we are against Christ in the flesh, which flesh cannot serve God, or please God, but instead lust against God righteous Spirit in falsehood and lies. Using a name, blurting it out while under trial does not mean we are in Christ, it is the Spirit that is truth, which means, our wars are not with flesh, but spirit being, wicked rulers of Satan system; blurting out a name as a good luck charm does not stand against mighty spirit being bent on the destruction of Christ brothers.
Matt.7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' 7:23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'
1 Corinthians 3:16 Don't you know that you are a temple of God, and that God's Spirit lives in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God's temple is holy, which you are.
1 Corinthians 6:19 Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own. It is the Spirit that is truth, it is the mighty eternal life of Christ in supreme kingly power that stands against the wicked spirits because we are part of his life, as we are in him, and him in us, it is the Spirit that is truth that saves us, which gives us a mind that cannot be overtaken by the wicked spirits. It is the Spirit that is the truth of God's anointed, that has made them alive in the eternal life of Christ Jesus that is all powerful in overcoming this world, not us, in the flesh blurting out Jesus Christ, or Jehovah! Let us remember it is the flesh that stand against Christ that indwells us in truth of the Spirit. our battles are not with this earth, it not with the people of this earth we are dead to that life, our battles are with wicked spirit person in heaven place because Christ is removing their power over this world.
Ephesians 2:2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience;
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 2:22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let's also walk by the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we don't wage war according to the flesh;
2 Corinthians 5:16 Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ps.90:10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. 90:11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
That is why we cannot stand or walk in the flesh, it has no purpose in what we are created for by God's Spirit. This world has been judged long before we were born, Christ conquered this world, we are not part of it as though God is well pleased with it works, no! God is well please with the works of his own hand, Christ Jesus, his new creation created to set creation free from the wicked spirit force corrupting and controlling it into the freedom of the son's of his kingdom. Any not part of that fight against Christ.
Eph.1:18 having the eyes of your hearts{TR reads "understanding" instead of "hearts"} enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 1:19 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might 1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, 1:21 far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. 1:22 He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly, 1:23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Eph. 2:4 But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, 2:5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 2:6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 2:7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; 2:8 for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 2:9 not of works, that no one would boast. 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. 2:11 Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "uncircumcision" by that which is called "circumcision," (in the flesh, made by hands); 2:12 that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ. 2:14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of partition/
1 John 5:4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith. 5:5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
