Lesson 5014

 (Lesson 5014) (10-23-25) 2nd John 1:1-6 

   “The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.” 

 

   Today’s quote is a short letter reminding us to live in truth and love. John praised the addressee of this letter for walking in the truth and urges us all to keep loving one another as God commanded from the beginning. John explained that love means living in obedience to God’s teachings. Today’s lesson simply says we should stay true to God’s message, love others through our actions, and show that love by following His commandments. ~
