ANTICHRIST

1John 2:22
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”
Antichrist is faulty understanding of Jesus Christ and refuses to have relationship with Christ. Furthermore, understanding the basic principle of “Father and the Son” is to understand the most fundamental foundational truth to Christianity. This is found in the prayer Jesus prayed in John 17:20-26 “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
John keeps bringing this thing back to the beginning. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus prays the Father would put and cultivate this same relationship within us as He is in us.
In other words, His prayer is the relationship the Father has had with the Son from the beginning would be reproduced and multiplied in relationship with mankind and in mankind.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary relationship is the condition or fact of being related, connection, or association. God’s desire is to connect with us. What is a lie and what is truth is measured in and by relationship. Anything outside of or counterfeit to relationship becomes the bases to antichrist.
