Discussion Questions:
Why is verse 12 written to “little children” with a past tense verb such an important marker of transition from chapter 1? (Hint: Consider 1 John 1:9). Verses 13-14 emphasize that we already know God. How can this encourage you when you’re wishing you felt more or “experienced” more with God? How might verses 18-22 radically change the way we use the term “antichrist” compared with the common use of the term today? Read verse 24. Recall the best understanding of “abiding in Christ.” How does this passage affirm the truth about abiding? Verse 25 holds a promise for us related to the truthfulness of God. What is it? How does it relate to our security with God? Verses 26-27 reveal that one purpose for John’s letter is to contrast believers and deceivers. How does this give us more fuel for understanding 1 John 1:9 and its surrounding verses? Read verses 28 and 29 and react to this statement: I can have confidence upon Jesus’ return because I am born of God and as righteous as He is!
