1 John 2:22

A LIAR

1st John 2:22. "He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.” “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? A LIAR. To deny what is truth having been proved beyond doubt, Is an affront to the One who is the Truth. The proofs were in place then, and even now I can’t count All the evidences and how much they are worth. When one denies Christ is the unique Son of God, He sets himself up on a pedestal so high – That when he speaks, I cannot believe his words Knowing that it is in his nature to lie.

The Father bore witness that the Lord Jesus is God, And so did His fore-runner John. A lasting and reliable witness is God’s written Word, And by His works, is Christ’s deity shown. The fulfillment of the scriptures during His life and His death, Give plain evidence that Jesus is the Christ. To read the Word paying attention to what it really has said, Of the many assurances is the best. A lie is an abomination so a liar is in danger Of losing His eternal soul. A liar is not hated but to God’s grace is a stranger – And to heaven through Christ cannot go. It is a sad commentary when one is willing to deny, What God and His Word say is true. Anyone who refuses to on Christ alone rely, The gift of eternal life forever they will loose.

“With so many proofs in place Father God, I find it a hard thing to find ways to convince those who deny Christ of the truth of salvation. Some seem to think it is not important to consider His deity and Messiah-ship. Others put their own opinions ahead of the truth of Thy Word. Have mercy on them Father, and if there will be with Thy Gospel. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
