Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to 2 John 1:12

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. But what we don’t see underneath is how their false doctrines can destroy faith. How can we identify these deceivers and their lies? What should we do about them? In this series on the second letter of John, Dr. Mark Rae gives us the answer.

Words are powerful. Your voice has the ability to bring good or evil into your life. We must always remember that we have an enemy who loves to whisper lies in our ears and has the power to bring those lies into the world through our mouths. Our job is to discern which voice we listen to and be careful about what we say, think, and believe.

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.

Decades after Jesus’s death and resurrection, the apostle John wrote three letters to believers experiencing trouble within their church. With the wisdom of age and the authority of experience, John writes to comfort and encourage the flock of God. Let’s turn to these special letters to experience that comfort and encouragement even today.

Join the creative community of Hillsong Church as we read and pray through 1, 2, and 3 John. These works are likely penned by the apostle John, written to a known community of believers and to specific individuals within this community. John wrote to combat false teaching by re-anchoring believers in the truth of Jesus Christ and giving guidance on how to live in love as children of God.

The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.
