In a world that values sincerity over truth, John's letter delivers a powerful reminder that what we believe about Jesus determines everything else. This message unpacks 1 John 2:18-27, exploring why correct doctrine isn't just academic—it's the foundation of authentic Christian faith. "Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ" (1 John 2:22). We'll discover how the Christ we confess ultimately determines the life we express, and why remaining in the truth brings the assurance of eternal life Jesus promised. Join us as we examine what it means to walk in both truth and love, anchored in right belief about who Jesus truly is. #1john #BiblicalTeaching #ChristianLiving #TruthMatters
