2:26 我將這些話寫給你們,是指著那引誘你們的人說的。
2:27 你們從主所受的恩膏常存在你們心裡,並不用人教訓你們,自有主的恩膏在凡事上教訓你們。這恩膏是真的,不是假的;你們要按這恩膏的教訓住在主裡面。
2:28 小子們哪,你們要住在主裡面。這樣,他若顯現,我們就可以坦然無懼;當他來的時候,在他面前也不至於慚愧。
2:29 你們若知道他是公義的,就知道凡行公義之人都是他所生的。
I write these things to you about those who
are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides
in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing
teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught
you, abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him, so
that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at
his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who
practices righteousness has been born of him.

基督徒的信仰是有末世性的,不僅等候道成肉身的基督,更是等候得勝的基督,也就是將上帝國完全實現的基督!但是這不是兩位不同的基督,這是同一位基督,是已經勝過罪和死的基督!
這也就是要告訴我們,我們既然接受耶穌基督成為我們的救主,就要相信祂已經完成了救贖,只是現在尚未完全實現,終有一天會完全實現。但是我們要把握現在,接受祂的拯救,讓聖靈將救贖時現在我們身上!
讓我們趁白日的時候,快快為主做工,將主的救恩宣揚出去,見證祂的榮美!
