June 13 - 1 John 2:26-27. Anointed.
I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 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.
The anointing the John writes of here is that which signifies holiness or separation which causes us to belong to God.
The holiness that Jesus gave to us is real. We are made holy through him and it is only in holiness that we can approach God.
God called his people to be separate from the world … not necessarily to separate themselves from the world, but to be different … to be holy when the rest of the world insists on being sinful and far apart from God.
Jesus Christ came to earth to teach us how to be holy, to be like God, to continually strive for a relationship with God, no matter what.
He came to earth to offer Himself as the atonement for our sins so that we have the opportunity to understand and know what holiness is.
Jesus Christ anointed each one of us … He made us holy.
