"I had a good time enormously to locate a few of your infants strolling in the certainty, simply as we were commanded via the father."
— 2 John 1:four In John's letter to the church, John reminded Christians of two instructions. First, the father instructions Christians to stroll within the actuality. second, the daddy commands Christians to walk in love. each on the equal time. John wrote that the father had at all times commanded americans to like one one other — this changed into no new command. Then, he defined that Christian love worried "running in" or "living in line with" the truth and the daddy's commandments (which God published in the Bible). When Christians in actual fact love God and one another by means of living in accordance with the actuality and commands of God, they deal with others rightly. Like a pretty good mum or dad, John had a good time drastically when he noticed his spiritual little ones residing actually in love. As their spiritual parent, John additionally expressed problem that notwithstanding they have been strolling in certainty and love, they may become misled. He wrote that many deceivers had gone out into the area. These deceivers taught false issues about God and Christ; as an instance, some denied that Jesus had come into the world within the flesh as a true human being. John wanted Christians to abide in the teachings of Jesus and never add to or subtract from them or trust and believe any person who misrepresented what the Bible taught. certainly, John warned that if a believer greeted a false instructor or bought him into their residence, then they took half in his "wicked works." training obedience to the Bible's teachings can help us prevent being misled and sinning; especially if we will bear in mind that the daddy will in no way command anybody to do anything else opposite to His commands in the Bible.
