Have you ever been duped? Maybe you gave money to someone in need, only to find out later you were manipulated? Maybe you trusted someone who promised they’d have your back, but when you needed them most, they were gone. Have you ever been conned, promised opportunity, partnership or love & instead you were left empty & embarrassed? Few things are as discouraging as realizing you’ve been deceived. It makes you angry, embarrassed, and jaded. But what about when the lie isn’t about money or friendship—what if it’s about God? John knew how destructive spiritual lies could be. That’s why in his letters, he didn’t treat lies as small problems. He warned believers not to tolerate them, enable them, or even greet those who spread them. Because for John, truth and lies are not competing opinions—they are opposing kingdoms. One builds life; the other destroys it. One belongs to Christ; the other to the deceiver. This is the war every believer is in—whether we realize it or not. That’s why this series through 2 and 3 John matters. These short letters show us that the nature of truth is never abstract or subjective; It’s the only way to spiritual life. It guards us from lies, unites us in love, and gives us courage to follow Jesus no matter the cost. So this week, we’ll focus on the fight John highlights most urgently: Truth versus Lies.
