John writes in 1 John 2:1-11 with the tenderness of a spiritual father—“My little children”—but don’t let that warmth fool you. He speaks with a deep affection, the kind a parent uses when they love their child too much to let them keep believing a lie. He’s about to draw a line in the sand that nobody can straddle. On one side, there are those who know God. On the other side, there are those who merely claim to know Him. And the difference between the two groups isn’t measured by what comes out of their mouths. It’s measured by what flows from their lives.
