—2 John 1-6
by: Margaret Taylor.
John declares in this passage that the Truth has taken up permanent residence in the believer. 1 John 5:6 identifies the Holy Spirit as Truth. Jesus called himself the Truth and has commanded that we abide in him.
Truth is uncompromisingly revealing. It can be very comforting and reassuring, or it can be brutally and painfully humiliating. Paul pleads with the believers to be transformed (not redecorated, but totally gutted and remodeled) by the renewing of their minds to have the same mind which is in Christ Jesus.
Lord, grant us the grace and courage to receive and live in your truth.
