For Tuesday, September 3, 2024:
1 John 2:22 NLT: “Who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.”
One church where I minister says there are two kinds of people:
1. Those who know Jesus, and
2. Those who don’t know Jesus yet!
I sometimes come across a third type: Those who have considered Jesus, but in the end decided to reject the Gospel. They will argue against Biblical truths, and make a case that there is no God or that some other god should have the top spot, perhaps even themselves. But the Bible says that anyone not ‘for’ you is ‘against’ you, and anyone in this third group is clearly working against Christians and their Savior Jesus.
Believers know (believe through faith) that Jesus is the Messiah, the long-expected anointed one from the prophesies. Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.” And anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. Pretty strong accusation, but when it comes to loyalty, God doesn’t mince words.
When evangelizing, spend time with those who have ears to listen. Now get out there and make disciples of all nations!
