The message we heard is the one we need to ensure remains in us. This is the message of the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no other way to salvation. Jesus Himself commanded us to remain in Him (John 15:4).
There is a close relationship between the word and the Father and the Son. If the word remains in us then the Father and Son remain in us and we in them. Conversely, if the word does not remain in us we will not remain in the Father.
Eternal life consists of knowing God. The Lord gives us a whole new life.
John reassures them again about the validity of what they first heard. The gospel is true and utterly reliable.
One day Christ will return. On that day all alternatives, and all of man's wisdom and pride, will come to nothing. Anyone who has trusted in them will look foolish on that day. If we remain in Christ we will not be put to shame on that day.
