Sinopsis

This is our fourth episode on 1 John, chapter two, verses 18-27. I’ve entitled it “When Christians Become Anti-Christ.” That title may surprise you a bit. But John would have us know that it’s not only possible, it is probable, if and when we refuse to keep our hope focused on the gospel of Jesus and the all-sufficient sacrifice of Jesus Christ for not only our salvation, but our sanctification. It is far easier than we might realize to become anti-Christ. When we stand against His will for us or refuse to allow Him to work through us, we end up opposed to Him. When we begin to think that we can handle our lives without Him or achieve some level of holiness apart from Him, we end up standing in opposition to Him. When Satan attempted to get Adam and Eve to disobey God and eat from the forbidden tree, he simply said, “Surely God has not said.” He got them to doubt God’s word. He led them to question God’s motives. And as soon as they ate, they became anti-God. And it’s still a risk we all face today.
