1 John 2:24-28 stand in direct contrast to the preceding verses as it outlines the life of the one who abides - the one that continues. John's message is that true believers continue in these things. They do not give up, they do not depart, they do not back down. They are ever-advancing in three particular realms. Listen in to be challenged as a believer!
