The First Letter of Johnනියැදිය

The Anointing Remains in You

It may be a good thing to have a look at the introduction to the reading plan to understand this passage. The focus here is John telling his readers that it isn’t in some superior knowledge that we have confidence before God. We already have all the “superior knowledge” necessary to access God’s love. It is in abiding in Him that we have confidence. This abiding also produces righteous living - and righteous living, in turn, produces more abiding.

Devotional Question:

Do I actively live abiding in Christ, or has shame made a distance between us?

Challenge yourself to draw closer to God – even if you don’t ‘know’ how. Simply start practicing abiding.
