"The True Witness!"
The Apostle John writes these Holy Spirit inspired WORDS as a Witness of who Christ Jesus is, and a warning to all who believe in HIM that deceiving spirits continually work to destroy the witnesses of The Resurrected Lord.
Christ Jesus, who earlier also warns those who follow HIM of the many false prophets and deceivers of the Truth, who are going out into the world proclaiming that Jesus could not be the Messiah and Savior, nor the Son of God.
John, while writing this letter, reminds us of those WORDs spoken by Christ, and gives instruction whereby all Believers in Christ are able to test the unholy and deceiving spirit of the antichrist.
It takes a forehand knowledge of who Christ is, and what HIS life accomplished through HIS death and resurrection, and that knowledge comes only from Holy Spirit, the True Witness of God and HIS Son.
As God spoke through the mouth of the Old Testament prophet in Hosea 4:6,
The Apostle John concludes in the following verses,
It is then wise for me to speak with my mouth, the WORDs of TRUTH and Knowledge revealed and inspired by Holy Spirit within my heart, bearing Witness of Christ, who sits at God's Right Hand ready to administer God's Judgement against the spirit of the antichrist, and his false witnesses that are going out into the world today.
