Pastor John continued the series from 1 John chapter 2. The sermon emphasizes the importance of abiding in Christ to withstand deception and maintain confidence in His return, particularly in light of the proliferation of antichrists. Drawing from 1 John, he clarifies that true believers persevere, distinguishing them from those who merely profess faith but ultimately depart. Pastor John also underscores the necessity of holding fast to orthodox doctrine, especially regarding Jesus Christ as Messiah, while recognizing that genuine faith is empowered by the Holy Spirit and produces lasting fruit.
