- Welcome to The Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
- 00:18
- John are all written by the Apostle John. Now, 1st
- 00:23
- John is one of the best books if you want to deal with the fact of assurance of salvation.
- 00:29
- It is a book that is very helpful in knowing what genuine salvation is, that you have salvation.
- 00:36
- It is a book where John, though a shorter book, he's going to deal with issues of light and life and love.
- 00:47
- It's more of a circular way of his style of writing. He's going to revolve around these topics over and over again.
- 00:53
- As we go on and look at from 1st John go to 2nd John, and as we look at 2nd
- 00:59
- John, 2nd John is going to deal with issues of Christian hospitality.
- 01:04
- It's going to cover issues of hospitality. This is actually the shortest book in the
- 01:10
- 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.
- 01:18
- 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
- 01:27
- 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.
- 01:40
- 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.
