1 John 2:18-29 Anointed, Discerning and Abiding

In this Bible study, we walk through 1 John 2:18-29 to discover what it means to live as anointed children of God who can discern truth from deception. I talk about: Understanding your identity as a dearly loved child of God What it means to be anointed by the Holy Spirit Recognizing the antichrist spirit and false teachings Developing discernment without falling into fear or scrupulosity Learning to abide in Christ with confidence This teaching is especially helpful for Christians battling anxiety, doubt, scrupulosity, OCD, and insecurity about their faith. John reminds us that we already have the anointing to know truth, serve God, and discern what is false—not because of our performance, but because of who we are in Christ. You don't need special knowledge or perfect feelings to be anointed. The anointing abides in you as a child of God, empowering you to live in truth, walk in confidence, and resist condemnation. ❓Submit a Question: https://markdejesus.com/questions/ 📘Get The OCD Healing Journey Book Today: https://markdejesus.com/the-ocd-heali... ➡️Get a FREE eBook on the Father’s Love: https://bit.ly/3fGu6t3 ▶️Mark's resource library: https://markdejesus.com/topics/ 👉Support future videos: https://markdejesus.com/donate/ 🌎Join the Healing and Freedom Community: https://markdejesus.com/community 📚Mark's books: https://markdejesus.com/books-by-mark...
