Reading Second John

This epistle, the second from John, is almost identical in material to First John. It again focuses on the basics of following Jesus. Discussions about truth and love are key, especially against the backdrop of false teachings. Actually, the purpose of this letter is to combat the false teachers that were rampant at this time. John reminds the church that they can only rely on the Bible for real teaching. The Bible, God's Word, is completely and utterly the truth. The other important method of combating false teachers is through the right company. Surrounding yourself with other fellow Christians that you love and that love you back is vitally important, especially when searching for the truth.
