Your Divine Anointing
Commentators explain that the "anointing from the Holy One" is the gift of the Holy Spirit, given by Jesus Christ to every believer. This isn't a physical oil or a secret ritual for a select few, as some false teachers claimed, but a spiritual reality for all Christians. This divine anointing equips, sanctifies, and protects you from deceptive teachings.
