1 John 2:18 - 2:29
1 JohnSteve Gregg
In this session, Steve Gregg delves into 1 John 2:18-29 by elucidating the concept of the "last hour," as John refers to it in his letter. Gregg notes that John referred to the end times as "the last hour" and the existence of false Christs and false prophets. These false teachers questioned the divinity of Jesus and thus revealed that they are not true believers. Gregg adds that to identify these false teachers, it is crucial to distinguish between knowledge of God and knowledge about God. Ultimately, John emphasizes the necessity of abiding in Christ to ward off false teaching and to know the truth.
