MAIN POINT This is the center of the passage.
“ So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. 25 And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us” (1 John 2:24-25 NLT)
And again: “ And now, dear children, remain in fellowship with Christ so that when he returns, you will be full of courage and not shrink back from him in shame.” (1 John 2:28 NLT)
Remain faithful. Remain in fellowship. That’s the message!
