But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he has promised us, eternal life.
1 John 2:20-25
Good To Go
All of you know the truth.
I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it.
(v 20b-21a)
OK so I'm good then? I know the truth; I'm not in the dark; I'm good to go. And not just me, all of us know the truth. We must be one enlighten group here - lucky us.
Yes, lucky us indeed. And woe to us too as now we must live this truth and that's not so easy. When I Know with my mind, how do I Know in my heart then Know with my life? That I don't know. Comprehension, belief, action. Perhaps John writes to us from ages past precisely because it he knows that is hard: hard back then, hard now. We need help and encouragement and direction and a whole lot of divine intervention to live this Truth. And lucky us truly as we do have all of these things indeed. We have God's word, saints before us and among us, each other in community, and always the Sacred Spirit. I guess I really am good to go.
