28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Focused Passage
1 John 2:28-29
Christ Our Advocate, Walking as He Walked, and Abiding in the Truth
The chapter moves from Christ’s advocacy for sinners to the evidences of genuine knowledge of God: obedience, love, rejection of the world, discernment of antichrist denial, and abiding in the Son.
