"But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." 1 John 2:20
The Amplified Bible translates 1 John 2:20 like this, “But you have been anointed [you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from] the Holy One, and you know [the Truth] or you know all things.” How awesome is that? We have a sacred appointment by God Himself and we know the Truth that has set us free. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a peculiar people; that ye should bring forth the praises of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2:9 God has chosen us, and we have been appointed by God, and we have been empowered by God to know the Truth of all things! This empowerment will definitely make us peculiar to the world! Because we have been called out of the darkness that the world is in and we now abide in God’s perfect Light, and His Light has driven out all of the darkness from within us! The very sin that Adam and Eve committed, the sin that the world is still dying from, eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, has been done away with for us! We now have the full power of God within us, and through Christ we now can know all things. The Light has driven out the power of the knowledge of evil for us and we are no longer poisoned by it. We now have the power that God has, to know what evil is, but to not be affected by it! This is what makes us peculiar to the world, why aren’t we drawn to sin, why has it lost its allure for us, why is there no longer any pleasure in it for us, why does it have no power over us, and why are we not suffering form its presence? People see this power through us, and the power that they see is God, and they bring forth praises to Him, because of what they see of Him through us! This is the life we now enjoy as chosen royal priests unto God!
