People's Commentary (NT)
1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received, abideth in you. See
1 John 2:20. This anointing is spoken of because it furnishes them a
means of guarding against the false teachers and seducers. The passage
does not teach a continuous revelation, or that we are to be led by the
inner light, but that God has given us means of knowing whether men
speak the truth.
Ye need not that any man should teach you. There is another
fountain of knowledge so that ye need not the aid of these opposing
teachers.
As the same anointing teacheth of you all things. The Holy Spirit
bestowed upon you. It was the promise of Christ that the Spirit should
"guide you into all the truth" (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit was
thus imparted to the apostles and through them spiritual gifts were
imparted everywhere in the early church. Among these gifts were wisdom,
knowledge, prophecy, and discerning of spirits. These extraordinary
gifts continued until the Holy Spirit had prepared the New Testament to
guide the church (1 Corinthians 13:8). Now we have the Word of God, which
the Holy Spirit has given us, and the presence of the Spirit with us to
fit us for understanding. The word and the unction still teach us all
things.
