Paul addresses the coming day of the Lord, the man of sin, and the strong delusion God sends upon those who reject the truth.

Pastor John Nuce
John points believers back to the original commandment to love one another and uses Cain and Abel to contrast hatred with love. The world’s hatred toward believers should surprise no one. True love demands action and truth rather than mere words, requiring us to lay down our lives for the brethren just as Christ laid down His life for us.

John distinguishes God’s children from the devil’s children by their practice of righteousness. Those born of God cannot practice habitual sin because God’s seed remains within them. Habitual sin directly contradicts the new nature believers receive at salvation.
