2nd John, Watch Out for False Teachers

In his second epistle, John exhorts Christians to be vigilant in watching out for false teachers. The church should be marked by discernment: "For many deceivers have gone out into the world." However, a church will not survive the onslaught of spiritual warfare through false teachers if she neglects the truth of God's Word, fails to love the saints, and disobeys the commands of the Lord.
