John writes in expectation of the return of the Lord Jesus. He calls his time, the last hour. In the last days, he taught, many "anti-christs" arise. These antichrists are not part of the body of God. Then he transitions with the conjunction BUT.
Whenever the Bible starts with a bad thing and then transitions with BUT...pay attention, something very important and good is about to follow. This section is not an exception. The antichrists are not of God, but those of us who truly trust HIm are anointed by the Holy One and cannot deny the Lord Jesus.
The key is to "abide in Him" and you will not be deceived by the antichrists.
