2 John 7
Deceivers Condemned.In this part of the letter, John warns about false teachers who spread lies about Jesus Christ. He also gives advice to the Christian community on how to stay strong in their faith and remain true to the teachings of Christ. He emphasizes the importance of holding on to the truth, avoiding spiritual losses, and staying united with God through his Son, Jesus.v. 7: John reports the troubling news that many deceivers have entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh (2 John 1:7 a). These false teachers deny that Jesus is the promised Messiah who came in human form. Such a denial is a serious error, and John describes them as deceivers and antichrists. These individuals mislead others and oppose the glory and kingdom of Christ. Their actions are harmful to the faith and love that believers share in Christ.
