CHOSEN LADY – I LOVE IN THE TRUTH / 2 JOHN 1:1-2

(KJV) 2 John 1:1-2

The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; ² For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

Some take this to mean that John’s letter was addressed to a godly woman, possibly named Kyria (Greek, meaning “lady”), and her family. However, the term “chosen lady and her children” is most likely a figurative way of saying” the church and its members” (1 Peter 5:13).

John loves and cares for others in a way that follows Jesus’ example and is consistent with what the New Testament reveals about Jesus Christ. It is certainly possible to love others, yet not be committed to the truth of God’s Word. People who do this are placing love, acceptance, friendship, unity and good works above the truth and commands of God (2 John 1:5-6). But it is also possible for a person in the church to promote Biblical truth and defend the Bible’s teachings yet not show active love and concern for others. What God requires is that we show both love for His truth and love for others. We must speak – and show- the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15; 1 Corinthians 13:6).
