Beginning in verse 8, the Holy Spirit through the Apostle John gives the main instruction to the Christian readers of 2 John. First, Christians are commanded to guard themselves from being led away from the true faith. Second, in verse 9, Christians are taught how to identify false Christians who might lead others away from the true faith. In this message, Pastor Mathew focuses on verses 8-9, outlining several biblical principles that can help in the understanding and application of these verses.
