1 John 2:24-29
See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
As for you the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things.
Dear children, continue in him. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
The early Christians were taught that an arch-enemy of Christ - the embodiment of evil - would come on the scene when the Lord's return was imminent. John sees many Antichrists already on the scene (false teachers, once within the church, who deny that the man Jesus was the Messiah and Son of God). These early manifestations of the Great Evil are a sign that the time is near.John comforts his readers that they are different. They know the truth. They have God' Holy Spirit to teach them. If they stay with the message they have heard, they will stay with the Son and the Father - which means eternal life.
Anointing/poring: John refers to the discernment the Holy spirit gives to Christians. He is talking about false teachers, not saying the Christians have no need of teaching.
Why?
For remain is Him is we received from the beginning, so the Holy Spirit may teaches us, let us know the truth. Do not be affected by others.
The meaning of cross and salvation and Jesus Christ is the foundation of what I am believed.
Jesus Christ is not a story but the witness and symbol of love from the Lord!
Children of God is who do what is right!
How?
The truth has only one, when I keep holding it remain in Him, the promise of God is the eternal life.
