Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
This is a ministry of striving for eternity. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
John are all written by the Apostle John. Now, 1st
John is one of the best books if you want to deal with the fact of assurance of salvation.
It is a book that is very helpful in knowing what genuine salvation is, that you have salvation.
It is a book where John, though a shorter book, he's going to deal with issues of light and life and love.
It's more of a circular way of his style of writing. He's going to revolve around these topics over and over again.
As we go on and look at from 1st John go to 2nd John, and as we look at 2nd
John, 2nd John is going to deal with issues of Christian hospitality.
It's going to cover issues of hospitality. This is actually the shortest book in the
New Testament, and this book is going to address things of false teachers as well, because there is some of that that he deals with.
He has to deal with the Gnostics and the errors of Gnosticism, but he also wants to teach about hospitality, which is similar to what we see in 3rd
John. In 3rd John we are also going to see the basic issue of hospitality being addressed, and you will see warnings as well in this book against false teachers.
This is common because the false teachers would live among people, and so there's a warning not to embrace and support false teachers, and that's true even for us today.
