1 John 2:25-29

25That is the real life that continues for ever. And that is what God has promised to give to us.

26Some people are trying to lead you away from God's true message. I am writing these things to you so that you know about these people.

27But Christ has given the Holy Spirit to you, and he continues to help you. So you do not need people to teach you what is true. The Holy Spirit himself teaches you everything about God's message. He helps you to know what is true. He does not tell you any lies. So you must remember what he has taught you. Continue to live together with Christ.

28Yes, my children, continue to live with Christ. Then we will not be ashamed when he returns to this world. We will not be afraid to meet him.

29You know that Christ only does what is right. So you should know this: Everyone who continues to do what is right has become a child of God.
