26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
Introduction: Where does confidence come from? Does it come from experience or knowledge? Some professional athletes suffer from anxiety, because they doubt themselves (like the basketball player at the free throw line or the golfer on the last hole of the match). They lack confidence despite the fact that they have the experience and the knowledge. As saints of God, we can also struggle with having confidence. After you have heard some of John’s statements from this epistle, you may be asking yourself the following: “If I die today, will I open my eyes in the presence of the Lord or will I find that Hell is my eternal dwelling.” You might be wondering whether or not you will hear the Lord say, “Servant, well done!” or “Depart from Me, you worker of iniquity!”
Don’t answer out loud but I have to ask.
This morning are you experiencing
Doubt or are you Confidence
Uncertainty or are you Certainty
Reservation or are you Secure
Skepticism or are you Sure
If you are doubting your eternal destination, or if you have uncertainty concerning your fate when the Lord returns? Let us listen to the message John gave the saints who had deceivers telling them that they needed more. They needed more knowledge and more understanding. These fake preachers disturbed the early saints with their “supernatural speech”

29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
26 “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
