What is the main message of 2 John?

• A. Walk in truth and love, and reject false teachers who do not confess Jesus Christ.
• B. Seek wealth and comfort.
• C. Observe dietary laws.
• D. Emphasize miracles.

Answer: (D)

2 John emphasizes living in truth and love while safeguarding the community from those who deny the essential confession about Jesus Christ. The letter points out that genuine love is shown by walking in Jesus’ commandments and by recognizing that Jesus has come in the flesh. Because false teachers deny this foundational truth, believers are instructed not to welcome or assist them, so as not to participate in their error. So the main message is to walk in truth and love, and reject those who do not confess Jesus Christ. The other options miss this central focus, as they address wealth, dietary practices, or miracles rather than the duty to uphold sound doctrine and demonstrate love through obedience to Christ.
