Believers are warned in 2 John about opponents of the Gospel seeking to twist the truth about Jesus Christ. We see it today in people teaching that we need to do more, love more, and confess more to find peace with God. But we don’t have a frustrated, angry God wishing we did better. We have the gift of God’s mercy and grace and His life inside us! In this message, we’ll celebrate that we’re part of God’s forgiven, chosen people. You’ll learn the truth about your peace with God, and why you can be confident that you’ll keep His commands and have His truth in you forever!
