1 John 2

John presents Jesus Christ as the believer’s advocate and propitiation, not for our sins only but for the sins of the whole world. He urges believers to keep Christ’s commandments, love the brethren, resist love of the world, recognize antichrists, and abide in the truth they received. The anointing from the Holy One helps protect them from deception.
