1 John 2:24

22 ^aWho is a liar but he who denies that ^bJesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

23 ^aWhoever denies the Son does not have the ^bFather either; ^che who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

Let Truth Abide in You

24 Therefore let that abide in you ^awhich you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, ^byou also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

25 ^aAnd this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.

26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to¹ deceive you.

27 But the ^aanointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and ^byou do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing ^cteaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you¹ will abide in Him.

What Does 1 John 2:24 Mean?

1 John 2:24

John appeals to the brethren to hold fast to the truth that they had been taught since their calling. To "abide" in the Son and the Father means to remain faithful to God's way of life, grow spiritually, and become more and more like God (John 15:4-6).The only way we can do this is by remaining faithful to the truth of God that the apostles taught from the church's founding. To those who remain faithful to His way, God has promised eternal life (I John 2:25).
