1 John 2:24-29

여러분이 처음부터 들은 것을 여러분 속에 간직하십시오. 여러분이 처음부터 들은 그것이 여러분 속에 있으면, 여러분도 아들과 아버지 안에 있게 될 것입니다. 이것은 그가 친히 우리에게 주신 약속인데, 곧 영원한 생명입니다.나는 여러분을 미혹하는 자들에 관하여 이렇게 썼습니다. 여러분으로 말하자면, 그가 기름 부어 주신 것이 여러분 속에 머물러 있으니, 여러분은 아무에게서도 가르침을 받을 필요가 없습니다. 그가 기름 부어 주신 것이 여러분에게 모든 것을 가르쳐 줍니다. 그리고 그 가르침은 참이요, 거짓이 아닙니다. 여러분은 그 가르침대로 언제나 그리스도 안에 머물러 있으십시오. 그러므로 자녀 된 이 여러분, 그리스도 안에 머물러 있으십시오. 그렇게 해야 그가 나타나실 때에 우리가 담대함을 가지게 될 것이며, 그가 오실 때에 그 앞에서 부끄러움을 당하지 않을 것입니다. 여러분이 하나님께서 의로우신 분임을 알면, 의를 행하는 사람은 누구나 다 하나님에게서 났음을 알 것입니다.See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.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. And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

If we remain in the Son and in the Father and continue in Him, we maybe confident and unashamed before him at his coming when He appears. Further, we will even get to reap the benefit of His promise - eternal life. But we should think of this as one of many benefits that we will reap by remaining in the Son and in the Father. Indeed, receiving the ticket to heaven should not be our sole goal and objective of believing in the Son and in the Father. Rather, we can enjoy the eternal life even in our present life by remaining and continuing in our our relationship with the Son and the Father. Our souls will cherish and be full of joy as we have deep relationships with our Father and the Son. Amen!
