Thematic Bible: Who is confident


Thematic Bible



Who is a liar compared with him who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He who disowns the Father and the Son is the anti-Christ. No one who disowns the Son has the Father. He who acknowledges the Son has also the Father. As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father. read more.
And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages. I have thus written to you concerning those who are leading you astray. And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do. And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.


And He who formed us with this very end in view is God, who has given us His Spirit as a pledge and foretaste of that bliss. We have therefore a cheerful confidence. We know that while we are at home in the body we are banished from the Lord; for we are living a life of faith, and not one of sight. read more.
So we have a cheerful confidence, and we anticipate with greater delight being banished from the body and going home to the Lord. And for this reason also we make it our ambition, whether at home or in exile, to please Him perfectly.
