THE APOSTLE’S LETTER TO A MOTHER.
The second Epistle of John is addressed to an, “ELECT LADY AND HER CHILDREN.”
Some believe this lady and her children were members of a local church.
I don’t think so, I believe this little letter is addressed to a Christian “mother” whose family was a part of the Church.
What was the letter about?
As we read the following lines, we note that the word “truth” appears at least 5 times. John doesn’t write any new commandments but is encouraging them to continue what has already been communicated, “from the beginning.”
It is a command to continue in the truth.
This can be accomplished practically…
“To walk in love.“
This also must be done doctrinally… As we walk in love, our eyes need to “look” or “watch out for error.” So as to continue in the truth.
We need to have a true knowledge of what Godly love is and how to express it to others.
Many Christians have entered into marriage with the wrong concept of love. Love. It’s selfish, and their marriages have sadly failed and ended in divorce. Our love should be the love of God expressed toward each other. Do you totally understand the love of God?
His love being,
Sacrificial,
Unconditional,
Unending,
Everlasting,
Forgiving.
Accepting.
Doctrinally John warns us not to listen to erroneous teachers who preach a false kind of love.
A love that is wrapped up in selfishness, pride and arrogance. These false teachers do not accept that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh. The word. “Not confess” means “To Deny”
This teaching is not from God, but from the “Antichrist” Satan, “The Deciever“
Some denied that Christ “had not” already come in the flesh.
Others denied that He “could not come in the flesh.” Today, they are inclined to teach, “That He never came in the flesh, or will come again in the flesh.“
Jesus Christ, the Divine Spirit has come in material form and will come again according to the Scriptures.
The world is near its end; there is little time left. Come to Jesus today before it’s too late. Invite Him to forgive your sin and save your soul.
“Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life; no man can come to the Father but by Him.” John 14:6
These false teachers are a red traffic light for you to pull up! Whoever abides in this erroneous Doctrine is not of God.
This is so true today, don’t be misled by false teachers. Always check every doctrine by the Word of God.
John is hard on those who teach wrong doctrine and commands the believers not to involve them in their lives, even in their private homes.
Why? They are those contaminated by the virus of false doctrine, just as your doctor forbids you to mix with those who carry a deadly virus into your home, for safety’s sake, for yourself and your children.
Yes, we pray for them and love their souls, but definitely do not cooperate with them in improper handling of God’s Word.
In the Bible, there is a truth.
Never betray your love for Jesus Christ, who loved and saved you from sin.
You need to understand and know the Doctrine of Christ. We are admonished to “Always be ready to answer for the hope that is in you.”
Jesus has all these attributes.
Share Christ Intellectually.
Share Him Experientially.
Share Him Biblically.
Share Him by your changed life.
