9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son (2 John 1:9).
Yesterday we discussed that much of 1 John concerns the proper view of Christ. 2 John, although very short (only one chapter), continues the theme of importance of a high Christology. Christ is the object of our faith and faith based upon any other person, object, or philosophy will not lead toward a proper relationship with God the Father. This is the clear teaching of 2 John. So, faith is in a person, Jesus Christ.
