Discernment: A Study in 2 Johnනියැදිය

What does it say?
John commended the elect lady and her children for walking in truth and gave a warning not to entertain false teachers.
What does it mean?
It wasn’t uncommon for false teachers to infiltrate the early church. They traveled from place to place, attempting to influence new Christians by spreading new ideas that didn’t line up with the teachings of Christ. The recipient of John’s letter knew truth and recognized spiritual error. The identity of “the chosen lady” isn’t completely clear, but it’s thought that a church met in her home. She guarded truth in her home for her children and for her church family.
How should I respond?
Believers have a responsibility to live out the truth God has revealed to them and to warn others when biblical error is being taught. The truth of the Gospel is simple: Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth as the perfect Man, died for the sins of the world, and then rose victorious from the grave. Do the television and radio preachers you listen to teach the whole gospel, or do they avoid parts of the Bible? You have a responsibility to search Scripture for yourself and make its truth a reality in your life. Whom do you need to guard from biblical error? Ask yourself if everything you believe lines up with the Word of God. Anything that robs Jesus of glory is not part of God’s truth.

About this Plan

John's second letter addresses the same false teachers as 1 John. He emphasizes the need for wisdom and discernment when interacting with false teachers. True Christian fellowship is must be founded on the truth of Christ and built in love towards one another.
