Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 2 John 1:4

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

This devotion (taken from Book of 2 John) will equip you with biblical truths, and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.

John's second letter addresses the same false teachers as 1 John. He emphasizes the need for wisdom and discernment when interacting with false teachers. True Christian fellowship is must be founded on the truth of Christ and built in love towards one another.

The worst attacks on our faith come in subtle ways. On the tip of the iceberg, we see arguments from apparently sincere followers of Jesus.

In this series on the second letter of John, Dr. Mark Rae gives us the answer.

Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as the promise of His return, prove His unending love for each of us both in words and deeds. Jesus said that there is no greater love than someone giving his life for his friends, but He didn’t merely say it. He did it.

According to 2 John, you can’t have truth without love, and vice versa. John says our obedience to God should be motivated by love and informed by truth. The keyword of 3 John is “welcome.” Fellowship with God, sharing the gospel, and walking in truth and love produce a spirit of hospitality. Study alongside Dr. J. Vernon McGee as he leads the way through these brief yet impactful books.
