1 John 2:27 (NIV)
27 As for you, the anointing you received from him
remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing
teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not
counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.
When we became Christians, we were not only cleansed by the
Holy Spirit, we were also filled with the Holy Spirit. John speaks of this as
our anointing. The Spirit helps us hear the truth about Jesus and keeps us from
surrendering that truth to false teaching that would diminish either side of
Jesus' identity — Jesus, God with us and God like us. We abide in Jesus when we
hold on to both of these incredible truths.
Thought for today:
Am I mindful of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit?
