INTRODUCTION TO 2 JOHN (Part 3):

VII. ABOUT THE THEME AND STYLE OF JOHN'S LETTERS:

John's main theme is the correct doctrine of the humanity of Jesus Christ. The sub-theme is the assurance of salvation for genuine believers. John presents these themes in factual statements rather than generalizations.

I John contains a series of conditional phrases describing the differences between doctrinal truth and error, as well as contrasting a genuine believer with a false one.

VIII. ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP OF I, II AND III JOHN WITH THE REST OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:

John's letters were the last written in the New Testament. Four of the letters are classified in the Jewish Literature section of the New Testament since John wrote mostly to the believing Jews who were scattered in Asia Minor.

IX. SECTION OUTLINE OF II JOHN:

CHAPTER 1 - The Doctrine of Truth and Love

I will share my introduction to 3 John next.
