The book of 2 John is a concise letter from an anonymous “elder” to a “chosen lady” and her children, often interpreted as a local church and its members. It serves as a brief but urgent appeal for believers to continue living in truth and love, according to God’s commandments. A primary concern of the letter is to warn against false teachers who deny the physical coming of Jesus Christ, instructing believers to reject these deceivers and not offer them any support, lest they become accomplices in their deceitful work. It emphasizes the importance of discerning genuine doctrine and remaining faithful to the original teachings received from God.
