2 John 1 Time to Say No!

Today’s Mission 66 study brings us to Second John, where our


teacher, John Mathews, delves into the importance of adhering to


the essentials of the Christian faith and the need for discernment


when faced with false teachings. The early church faced challenges


from false prophets trying to introduce harmful ideas, which


required a firm and united stand from church leaders. John


emphasizes love and truth, warning against those who deny Jesus


Christ’s coming in the flesh—a dangerous heresy. It’s stressed


that we must stay true to the core teachings of Christ and not


be led astray by those who offer a different message, even in our


personal interactions and hospitality. Christians are encouraged to


be vigilant, to uphold the truth, and to demonstrate love through


obedience to God’s commandments.
