Welcome to the Hope Bible School verse-by-verse Bible study of 1 John. This is Jeff M Newman. Get a new lesson every other week on Mondays at 12:00 PM Pacific.

In Lesson 66, we are going to study the last part of 1 John 2:27.

Let’s read the verse.

1 John 2:27...But just as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him.

I’m going to break this lesson up into three parts.

Let’s define the words of the first part, which says “But just as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things…”

* But (235. alla) — Indicates a contrast; can be understood as "however" or "nevertheless."

* Just as (5613. hós) — Means "in the same manner" or "exactly as."

* The same (846. autos) — Refers back to the previously mentioned anointing (the Holy Spirit).

* Anointing (5545. chrisma) — Refers to the spiritual gifting or empowerment given by the Holy Spirit to believers.

* Teaches (1321. didaskó) — Means to instruct, explain, or impart understanding.

* You (4771. su) — Refers to the believer being addressed, the reader or listener.

* Concerning (4012. peri) — Means "about" or "regarding."

* All things (3956. pas) — Refers to everything necessary and relevant for truth and godly living.

The anointing refers to the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer. This is the same anointing we studied in Lesson 65.

This anointing is a special empowerment from God that leads you into a full understanding of His truth so you can live a godly life.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t just teach you one lesson, He teaches you all the spiritual truths and principles you need to grow in godliness.

He is able to teach you all things because He knows all things.

In 1 John 3:20, we are assured that God's knowledge is perfect and far greater than our own understanding or emotions. Because of this, we can trust that He is fully able to teach us all things through His Spirit.

1 John 3:20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.

In John 14:26, Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will teach you all things and help you understand everything you need to know about Him.

John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you.

Now, let’s define the words for the second part of this verse, which says, “and is true and is no lie…”

* And is true (
