In the name of Jesus we pray amen with us, 50 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:19.000 our teacher Samuel Montoya, guiding us and leading us in today' s 51 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.319 Bible study, we continue today, friend, listener, traveling through this first 52 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.199 epistle of the apostle John and we are in chapter two. Let' s 53 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.720 start with verse 23 and here John tells us that he has already identified the 54 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.279 antichrist for us now anti- Christ is someone who denies the father and son. 55 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:42.279 And in verse 23 he clearly presents us that one cannot deny the one 56 00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.800 without denying the other. Olleent friend, the deity of Christ is something essential 57 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.800 for his salvation, because if he is not God made man who died on 58 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:57.040 the Cross more than two thousand years ago, he cannot be his savior either. 59 00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.199 He could not even be his own savior, because none of us human 60 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.199 beings can die for each other, but it was necessary for God to become 61 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:12.480 a man so that you and I could have redemption. Therefore, John says 62 00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:17.360 here in verse 23 of this chapter two that we are studying everyone who denies 63 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.680 the son does not have the father either. The one who confesses the son 64 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:27.920 also has the father. You can appreciate then, listener friend, that when 65 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.600 you say you believe in God and deny the deity of Christ. He is 66 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.079 not really believing in God, at least he does not believe in the God 67 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.240 of the Bible. The God of the Bible is the one who sent his 68 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.920 son into the world to die for our sins. And he' s God. 69 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.480 And since he is God, he alone was able to make a satisfactory 70 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.399 sacrifice before God for our sins. If he had been something else, he 71 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.120 himself would have been a sinner. That' s why it says here. 72 00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:00.879 In verse 23 we read again everyone who denies the son does not have the 73 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:05.120 father either. The one who confesses the son also has the father. Is 74 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:11.759 it necessary that we emphasize that because of the great importance it has now Following 75 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:16.839 later in this chapter we see that verse twenty- four begins by saying what 76 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.800 you have heard from the beginning remain in you? So the principle that John 77 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:27.160 mentions refers to the incarnation of Christ, and John tells them here what you 78 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.800 have heard from the beginning, what you have heard about his incarnation, that 79 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:36.240 is found in the Gospel. According to St John, what you have heard 80 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:40.040 about his life, what you have heard about his death, what you have 81 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:46.399 heard about his resurrection, all that remains in you. And verse 24 goes 82 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:51.959 on to say if what you have heard from the beginning remains in you, 83 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.879 you also will remain in the son and father. It is essential, therefore, 84 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.959 to have a living faith that rests on him who came to this earth 85 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.000 more than two thousand years ago and John said and that verb was made flesh 86 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.240 and dwelt among us. The verb became flesh. How tremendous this is, 87 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.360 my friend Ollente Goodbye. No one has ever seen him the only begotten son 88 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.839 who is in the bosom of the father. He' s made him known. 89 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.160 So we can know about God, because God has become man and that 90 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:31.879 is the only way you and I can know about God. We know God, 91 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.279 we can know him. And the important thing about this whole section here 92 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.600 is communion with the father and the son. The emphasis here is not on 93 00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.759 having a life in Christ through faith in him, but it is now having 94 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:52.039 Communion and enjoying that communion. With him. Let us go ahead with verse 95 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.080 twenty- five of this chapter two, from the apostle' s first epistle, 96 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.399 John says, and this is the promise he made to us, eternal 97 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.879 life. This verse is very important because it joins the next verse, the 98 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.840 twenty- six verse that tells you. I have written this about those who 99 00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.360 deceive you, that is, there were those who now began to deny the 100 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.360 father and the son, began to deny that the Lord Jesus Christ was who 101 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.279 he claimed to be. These were deceivers, some of them were teachers. 102 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.720 John says that to which it is necessary to grasp, that from which it 103 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.360 is necessary to grasp. This is what God promised to each of us eternal 104 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:35.240 life. If we place our trust in Christ and he says we don' 105 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.759 t need to add anything to that, we don' t need to learn 106 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.519 what Gnostics are teaching us. They claim to have a higher knowledge. They 107 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.759 did know a little bit more than some other people and we fear hearing friend 108 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.720 that today there is a great danger in this. There are many people who 109 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.759 are attending Bible classes and there is then the danger of believing that one is 110 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.799 a super saint superior to others. More. On one occasion, a woman 111 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.440 was talking to her pastor. She was a very good believer, by the 112 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.879 way, and talked about this about attending Bible classes and it wasn’ t 113 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:15.440 really very flattering what she said. I was attending some Bible classes that, 114 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.679 by the way, are very good. We hope, Olleente friend, that 115 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.440 you do not misunderstand us, as we are not criticizing them. But this 116 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.639 lady was adopting an attitude of superiority over her husband, as if she knew 117 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.720 more than he knew and that she was, in fact, the one who 118 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.440 could teach him. And the truth was, it wasn' t like that. 119 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.720 What happened was that her husband could not attend so many of these Bible 120 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.120 teaching classes in the same way that she could. But the attitude she had 121 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.360 adopted had some effect on the husband’ s life. So there is that 122 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.480 danger, Ollente friend, the danger of Gnosticism in the present of professing to 123 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.159 have a higher knowledge and perhaps a higher experience, and then one becomes a 124 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:03.679 superior saint, one of those super saints who is none like you in your 125 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.759 class. That is a very dangerous position, because when one comes to have 126 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:13.440 a knowledge of Christ and begins to grow in grace and knowledge of him, 127 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.919 one has the same experience that John the Baptist had. John the Baptist said 128 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.360 it is necessary that he grow, but that I wane and believe that if 129 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.320 a man is honored, he himself. When you study God' s word 130 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.519 and we' re going to have to make a personal confession to you here 131 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.080 and we hope you won' t divulge it. We' re just saying 132 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:37.360 it here on the radio, and we expect you to keep it family. 133 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.519 But one of the things that bothers us a little bit in our study of 134 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.279 God’ s Word is that it does not reveal to us how much we 135 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.759 know, but reveals to us how much we do not know and how deplorablely 136 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.480 ignorant we are. And when we look back at our Ministry and see the 137 00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:01.679 things we are studying now in the Bible, we realize that we did not 138 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.559 know as much as we thought we knew. Honestly speaking, friend, listener, 139 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.679 we' ve found a lot of things we thought we knew before, 140 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.240 but we found out we didn' t know them at all. There is 141 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.279 a vast field of knowledge today for the Son of God and it is up 142 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:26.919 to us to come to know Christ through his word. We have to make 143 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.600 this something serious and give it paramount importance in our lives. That is of 144 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.200 the utmost importance and is what John is actually telling us in this chapter, 145 00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.639 he says I do not want you to become superior saints. I want you 146 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.759 to rest on these things. He is now entering an area where he will 147 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.440 tell you very directly that if you know Christ as Savior, you must remain 148 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.399 acidic about that. But now you are going to have fellowship with him and 149 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.440 with the father, and you are going to have that communion with what those 150 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:05.120 of the most believers, verse 27 says. But the anointing that you received 151 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.639 from him remains in you and you have no need for anyone to teach you, 152 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.840 just as the anointing itself teaches you all things and is true and is 153 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.159 not a lie. As she has taught you, abide in him. The 154 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.399 important thing to notice here is that John is not saying that we do not 155 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:30.440 need teachers. We need the teachers. Otherwise, the apostle Paul, by 156 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.399 the way, would be wrong in what he says in his epistle to the 157 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.480 Ephesians when he declares that God has given to the Church certain men who have 158 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.039 gifts, some to teach, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors 159 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.039 who can administer to the people. He has given this to the Church to 160 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.360 build up the body of believers, and we believe that this is important. 161 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:58.879 We all need to hear what good teachers have to say. The author of 162 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.759 these Bible studies, Dr. J. Bernon Maggie, once shared that there 163 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.840 were men of God who crossed their path and that some of them were responsible 164 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:11.840 for their decision to enter to serve in the Ministry of the Word of God. 165 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.759 He said that in the recording studio, where he prepared his programs, 166 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.960 he had a photograph showing four men who were very influential in his life. 167 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.840 He said that one of them was named Joe Balle, who lived in the 168 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.039 city of Nashville, Tennessee, who was a layman and that, when no 169 00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.039 one seemed to be interested in a young man who wanted to study to prepare 170 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.960 for the Ministry, this man became interested and it was he who helped him 171 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.960 get a job so he could go to college, who got him credit for 172 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:48.279 going to school and seminary, and who followed his ministry and was part of 173 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.840 the congregation that he pastored for three years, a wonderful man, for whom 174 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.519 Dr. Maggie thanked God. Next to him was Dr J s Arlen, 175 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.320 who was one of those great preachers that one has the opportunity to listen to. 176 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:07.679 Next to him was Dr Luis Sperry Chaffer, founder and first president of 177 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.159 Dallas Theological Seminary. When Dr Maggie heard him preach, he got excited to 178 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.320 dedicate himself to the Ministry and thought that was what he wanted to do. 179 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.720 And in the end was one of the smartest people in the picture than Dr. 180 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:28.480 Maggie would have known, Dr. Albert Dudley. He was a man 181 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.759 who had a lot of influence for Dr. Maggie will enter the Ministry and 182 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:37.679 dedicate herself to being an expository preacher and not to getting up and preaching a 183 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.080 little sermon. Nothing more. He said he thanked God for each of these 184 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.559 men. So the Apostle John is not saying here that these are not essential. 185 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:50.879 He is saying here that this is something important to God' s children. 186 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.919 Let us then read verse twenty- seven of chapter two, from the 187 00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.759 first epistle of the Apostle John, but the anointing he uttered did not others 188 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.559 receive from him. We had seen this before when we were talking about the 189 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.960 anointing of the Holy Spirit, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, the anointing 190 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.120 of the Holy Spirit. That' s one of your Ministries. The Holy 191 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:18.120 Spirit is our Master. He can lead us to all truth. The Lord 192 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.879 Jesus Christ, the Great Teacher, said in John fourteen twenty- six more, 193 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:27.559 the comforter, the holy spirit to which the Father will send in my 194 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:33.000 name, He will teach you all things and remind you of all that I 195 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.279 have told you and in John sixteen three was said. But when the spirit 196 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.799 of truth comes, he will lead you to all truth, to all that 197 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.960 you can contain and to all that I can contain. Well, the day 198 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.080 should come when you and I can stand firm on our feet as to the 199 00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:53.639 word of God refers and give a reason, as the Apostle Peter says before 200 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.440 everyone who demands your reason for the hope in you, do not us, 201 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:03.119 we others must be able to do that. There is a great danger about 202 00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:07.759 this and we want to say it very carefully. We know that some people 203 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:14.079 have been studying for thirty years in Bible classes, studying the Bible, but 204 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.440 they never get anywhere. They are the ones who make Bible teachers have a 205 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:22.119 bad reputation. You can see them at Bible conferences. You can see them 206 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.480 for many years and today they are in the same place they were a few 207 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:32.799 years ago. It is like what Paul Timothy said, little women loaded with 208 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:37.759 sin. They are always learning and can never come to the knowledge of the 209 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:41.440 truth. They never seem to arrive. They always have their bible and they 210 00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:47.279 ' re always writing notes, but they never learn anything. On one occasion, 211 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.240 a lady approached the preacher at a conference and asked him the same question 212 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.960 she had asked him twenty- five years earlier at another conference. She had 213 00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.799 a notebook and she was pointing everything there. They always learn money, but 214 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:03.440 it never came up. That is, one must reach a point where the 215 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.759 spirit of God is our teacher. How many times when you study God’ 216 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:12.079 s word, you ask God’ s spirit to teach and guide you. 217 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:18.519 And if you don' t understand the first time kneel down and tell Mr 218 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.240 I don' t understand this, tell him I can' t understand what 219 00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:23.279 he' s saying. You can clear it up. I want this to 220 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:29.279 be real and real. For me this is important and that is what John 221 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.519 is saying here in verse twenty- seven, but the anointing that you received 222 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.279 from him remains in you and you have no need for anyone to teach you. 223 00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.000 Now there are certain things that God' s spirit can make real before 224 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:48.079 you we read the second part of this verse twenty- seven, of chapter 225 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.079 two, of the first epistle of the Apostle John, as well as the 226 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.359 anointing itself. He teaches you all things and it is true and it is 227 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.400 not a lie. And that is why the Lord Jesus Christ could say that 228 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:04.480 false Christs and false prophets will rise and do great signs and wonders, so 229 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:11.599 that they will deceive, if possible, even the elect. But it is 230 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.799 never possible to deceive the chosen. Antichrist will not deceive the chosen ones who 231 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:19.799 have remained on earth at that time. Today the antichrist cannot deceive you The 232 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:25.880 spirit of God can be your teacher and this is of great comfort. We 233 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.880 must test every teacher we hear, ask the holy spirit to help you understand 234 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.079 whether what we are saying here is God’ s truth. Let' s 235 00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:40.359 go now to Verse twenty- eight and now little children. Stay in him 236 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.079 so that when he appears, we may have confidence, that at his coming 237 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.680 we may not turn away from him in shame. This is about Communion, 238 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.559 we must repeat this. To remain in him is to live in communion with 239 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:59.440 the Lord Jesus. That' s what he means. Stay in him wants 240 00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:03.880 to tell you to have communion with him. John says stay in him so 241 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.960 that when he manifests, we may have confidence. There are many people who 242 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.200 are talking about the Avenue of Christ and are excited about it, but, 243 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.920 by the way, it can be an embarrassing situation for them. If they 244 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.599 have no confidence in him, they will be ashamed before him when he comes 245 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.680 for what is good Because of their lives, the Lord Jesus Christ says, 246 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:32.599 behold, I come soon and my reward with me to reward each one according 247 00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.559 to his work. They will be seeking their reward and some will find that 248 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.960 they have none, as the apostle Paul says there in his first epistle to 249 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.920 the Corinthians. Chapter three, verse fifteen. If any man' s work 250 00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:52.039 is burned, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, 251 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.960 though as well as by fire, some will be saved, as by fire 252 00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.799 his works will be consumed by fire because they have only been in him and 253 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.160 litter. It is important to have a life that entrusts the Gospel and what 254 00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:07.720 John says here is the same as Peter had said, that a false doctrine 255 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.559 and a false life go together, that a true doctrine and a true life 256 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.880 go together. From time to time one hears about some of the leaders of 257 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.759 some cult and learns that this person has problems because he is guilty of adultery, 258 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.279 because he is guilty of taking over money that does not belong to him 259 00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.839 or of doing this or that. Why? Because false doctrine carries a false 260 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:37.319 way of living, while true doctrine carries a true way of living. There 261 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.079 is nothing that can affect your life, as much as the knowledge that you 262 00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.920 can be in the Presence of Christ and be accountable for what you have done. 263 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.319 Each believer will stand before the Court of Christ and Paul says that it 264 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:56.920 is necessary for all of us to appear before the Court of Christ so that 265 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.039 each one will receive according to what he has done while in the body, 266 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.960 whether it is good or bad. We must emphasize that the matter of salvation 267 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.400 is already settled, for we are still in His Presence as His children. 268 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.240 And it' s not a matter of whether we' re saved or lost, 269 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:17.039 but of whether or not we' re going to receive a reward, 270 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.039 whether or not we' re going to receive recognition? Will there be some 271 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:25.839 who will not receive either reward or recognition? Paul says knowing, for the 272 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:30.759 fear of the Lord we persuade men. The rapture of the Church is not 273 00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.880 going to be a very exciting event for many believers because of the kind of 274 00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:40.319 life they have lived here. Verse twenty- nine says if you know that 275 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.279 he is righteous, know also that everyone who does righteousness is born of him. 276 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.880 And that' s the final test. This is the test that is 277 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.759 done to know whether something is genuine or not, and the result is accurate 278 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:57.440 every time the word of God is applied. It' s the real test. 279 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:00.680 Indeed, what John is saying is that God’ s children are like 280 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.200 the father. They go out like their father. If they don' t 281 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.960 go out like their father, it' s because they' re not the 282 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.920 father' s children. It' s that simple and here we' re 283 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.839 going to stop. To hear, friend, listener, because in our time 284 00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:18.480 it is finished. For this day we will return God through our next program 285 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:23.599 that God bless you richly. It was helpful for you today' s study. 286 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:26.759 He wants to send us some comment on what he' s been hearing. 287 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:33.319 So, write to us, no longer wait our email is to TV 288 00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:40.920 arroba trans global, dot or HRG.
