Good Morning! We have completed the Book of 2 John and 3 John. We are starting in The New Testament of Our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. Thomas and I share our thoughts with you. Let him who thanks he stands take heed lest he fall. These words of the Apostles Paul could well stand as a subtitle for Johns little epistle. The recipients, a chosen Lady and her children, where obviously standing. They were walking in truth, remaining faithful to the commandments they had received from the Father. John is deeply pleased to be able to commend them. But he takes nothing for granted. Realizing that standing is just one step removed from falling,, he hesitate not at all to issue a reminder; love one another. The Apostles admits that this is not new revelation, but he views it sufficiently important to repeat. Loving one another, he stresses, is equivalent to walking according to God’s commandments. John indicates, however, that this love must be discerning. It is not a naive, unthinking, open-to- anything-and-anyone kind of love. Biblical love is a matter of choice; it is dangerous and foolish to float through life with undiscerning love. False teachers abound who do not acknowledge Christ as having come in the flesh. it is false charity to open the door to false teaching. We must have fellowship with God. We must have fellowship with Christians. But we must not have fellowship with false teachers. Share your thoughts with us on our Facebook Messenger page or text our phone.
