II John

John reminds the Church of the commandment to love one another. He warns of false teachers and deceivers within the Church and counsels Church members to not allow them to remain in their congregations. 

In his second epistle the Apostle John expressed concern regarding apostate influences in the Church. At the same time, he also expressed joy for Church members who had remained strong and loyal to the gospel (see 2 John 1:4). His words illustrate the joy and gratitude that Church leaders feel for those who remain faithful to the Lord. As you study 2 John, you can be strengthened by John’s reminder to love one another, obey God’s commandments, and faithfully abide in the doctrine of Christ.
