John Loves the Truth.
2John 1-2 NCV: …I love all of you in the truth, and all those who know the truth love you. We love you because of the truth that lives in us and will be with us forever.
2 John 7-8 NCV: Many false teachers are in the world now who do not confess that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human. Anyone who does not confess this is a false teacher and an enemy of Christ. v8. Be careful yourselves that you do not lose everything you worked for, but that you receive your full reward.
John warns that many deceivers and false teachers have tried to change from Truth to lies about Jesus Christ. The Apostasy, the falling away says that Jesus Christ did not come in the flesh; Jesus Christ was not the eternal Son of God; Jesus Christ was not born of the virgin; and the blood of Jesus has no power to forgive our sins. The Apostasy, the falling away says that “Jesus came in the spirit.” 1John 2:22 “Who is the liar? It is the person who does not accept Jesus as the Christ. This is the enemy of Christ: the person who does not accept the Father and His Son” [NCV]. [References: Matt.1:18; Luke 1:27; 1John 2:2; 1John 4:9-10; 1John 5:20; 1John 2:18-28]
John’s argument is found in 1 John 1-4 NCV: “We write you now about what has always existed, which we have heard, we have seen with our own eyes, we have looked at, and we have touched with our hands. We write to you about the Word that gives life. v2. He who gives life was shown to us. We saw him and can give proof about it. And now we announce to you that he has life that continues forever. He was with God the Father and was shown to us. v3. We announce to you what we have seen and heard, because we want you also to have fellowship with us. Our fellowship is with God, the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. v4. We write this to you so you can be full of joy with us.”
John and the disciples have been with Jesus for three years. They all met Mary, the mother of Jesus. They were His witnesses. We have four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. He came in the flesh and was born of the virgin. He died on the cross to save us from going to hell and Jesus’ blood has power to forgive our sins. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.
