2 John 1:1-6
To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth - and not I only, but also all who know the truth.
Grace, mercy and peace from God the father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love.
John ask that we love one another. And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. His command is that you walk in love.
Unlike 1 John, 2 and 3 John are 'real letters, each long enough to be accommodated on a standard size sheet of papyrus and conforming to the letter-writing pattern of the time'. There is little doubt that 1,2 and 3 John are the work of one author, most likely the apostle John or a close disciple of his.
2 John, like 1 John, warns against false teachers, encourages the readers to hold to the truth, and focuses on a favorite theme: Jesus 'command that those who follow him should love one another. To love others a Jesus loves us means keeping God's commands. For Christians, love and truth go hand in hand.
Why?
Walk in love and it is truth which is the command from Jesus Christ. To be his follower we should love one another.
All grace, mercy and peace are come from God. God will be with us in truth and love.
How?
Because of love so I devote myself to love others and help them as I can.
