---The
application part of the Agape love of God in our lives, is understood very well
by John in this letter. ---Did John say
that Christ will come in his day in 1 John 2:18? No. ---He said that
they have heard through sermons of Daniel 7:25 Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome
and then the Antichrist Little Horn in that order only. ---Antichrist
(singular) they heard will come? When actually? 538 AD for 1260 years until
1798. ---But, says
John, [the carpet of this Antichrist is prepared by his agents the “Antichrists
that is already at work” through the Pagan Roman empire. ---How do we
know this is what John meant? Book of Revelation 12 for the 1260 years and 13
for the identity. ---Just like
Paul and Peter and James, also John has the overcoming message in sanctified
lives for us. “The world is passing away…and its lusts…the one who does the
will of God abides forever” (1 John 1:17). ---What is “does”?
Obedience to the Law of God which is His character. ---“Everyone
who practices sin also practices lawlessness and sin is lawlessness”. What
about the weak-theology preachers? Oh, I am a sinner and cannot be perfect?
John says no.
