1 John 2: 12-14

Pastor Phil continues in 1 John 2 with an exploration of John’s three repeated greetings and their lessons. John addresses us as forgiven and adopted little children because forgiveness and adoption are the beginning and the enduring foundations of our new life. John addresses spiritual parents who aid Christians in their growing maturity. And John addresses maturing saints to remind them that they are strong, God is with them, and they have conquered the evil one.
