Our righteous acts sign our attachment to Christ : Football is a game that is played with a round ball and with the whole body except the arms and hands for field players. If one of them ventured to play by hand, it's a fault, it's the rule. What if we take an oval ball?!? For life, the apostle John recalls certain basic aspects; there is an incompatibility between declaring oneself a child of God and taking pleasure in or justifying sin, one's sin. Those who do this belong to the devil. Inevitably, those who are Christians sign their life with righteous actOur Certainties in Christ in the Face of the Antichrist : The Antichrist will have worldwide influence, subjugate men and rise against Christ and his children. Antichrists present the same opposition to Christ and believers, they come from the environment of the Church. They deny that Christ is the messenger of God, the Messiah, and that He is the son of God, the Father. Faced with this danger, the apostle encourages believers by reminding them that the Holy Spirit equips them to discern the truth. Moreover, they only have to attach themselves to what they received at the beginning and live according to that.Who is my brother in faith in Christ? : If we do not have the benefit of divine illumination, we are in the shadow of darkness and we cannot claim that our choices are those of God. The apostle John reminds his readers of this so that their thoughts and the philosophies of life of the time are not big clouds that hide the divine lighting and, with time, they no longer support the divine light, and the commandments of God. How do I know if I am in the light of Christ? I can't hate a brother in Christ.Hating My Brother in Faith Shows That I’m Away from Christ : If we are not benefiting from divine illumination, we are in the shadow of darkness and cannot claim that our choices are God's. The apostle John reminds his readers of this so that their thoughts and the philosophies of life of the time are not big clouds that hide the divine lighting and, with time, they no longer support the divine light, the commandments of God. How do I know if I am in the light of Christ? I can't hate a brother in Christ.The Revealer of Our Devotion (1 John 2:2) : The Revealer of Our Commitment to Christ Living by the Word of God Demonstrates Our Commitment to Christ The life of a believer is simple and consistent. If you claim to follow Christ, then you are following what He says in the Bible. The reverse would be lying and showing distrust of Christ.KJV summary for : 1 John 2
