Lesson 5015

 (Lesson 5015) (10-24-25) 2nd John 1:7-13 

   “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.” 

 

    Today’s lesson warns believers that many deceivers are in the world, denying that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. John tells us that anyone who doesn’t stay true to Christ’s teaching doesn’t have God, but those who remain faithful have both the Father and the Son. John advises us not to welcome or support false teachers, so as not to amplify their wrongdoing. In simple terms: be careful who you listen to, stay true to the teachings of Jesus, avoid those spreading lies, and hold firmly to God’s truth. ~
