2 John
A WORD OF WARNING
Even the strongest
churches need warnings. Warnings help
keep the saints alert and active in resisting
error. The apostle John, referred to as
the "elder", is the human author of this letter. He is writing to the
"elect lady and her children", which is, evidently, a local church.
COMPLIMENTS - Vss. 1-4
John expresses his love
in Verses 1-2.
He wishes them mercy and
peace in Verse 3.
He rejoiced when he
heard that the church was "walking in truth"(Vs.4).
COMMANDMENTS - Vss. 5-6
They were to continue to
walk in his commandments, specifically the commandment to love one another.
CAUTION - Vss. 7, 9
There are deceivers
around who do not have the correct doctrine of Christ.
CONDUCT - Vss. 8, 10-11
The church should hold
to correct doctrine, for fear of losing reward. Vs. 8
False teachers are not
to be entertained as brothers in Christ. Vss.10-11

soon.
He sent greetings from a
"sister" church.
