Truth Abides

“Truth Abides"
Blessings folk!
Often we read too quickly through the intro/outro of biblical books.
There is much to glean and learn if one pays attention.
Such is the case with 2 John.
2 Jo 1:1-3
The elder to the elect lady and her children,
whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who know the truth,
because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever:
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us
from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
ESV
All true believers know the truth.
Why?
How?
Because truth abides in us and will be with us forever.
Selah! (One of the definitions of “selah” is “think on that”).
Look at what else we have.
Grace.
Mercy.
Peace.
Will be with us.
From God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.
Truth and love come from Father and Son.
Truth and love are with us.
Truth and love will be with us.
Forever.
Grace, mercy and peace will be with us.
Therefore, fear not.
Live in the truth and love of the Lord.
Be not distracted by the strategies of the evil one.
