The father of lies
Speaking to a group of Jews, Jesus says, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44).
Satan is the “father of lies” in that he is the original liar. He is the “father” of lies in the same way that Martin Luther is the “father” of the Reformation and Robert Goddard is the “father” of modern rocketry. Satan told the first lie in recorded history to Eve, in the Garden of Eden. After planting seeds of doubt in Eve’s mind with a question (Genesis 3:1), he directly contradicts God’s Word by telling her, “You will not certainly die” (Genesis 3:4). With that lie, Satan led Eve to her death; Adam followed, and so have we all.
Lying is Satan’s primary weapon against God’s children. He uses the tactic of deceit to separate people from their heavenly Father. Some of his more common lies are “there is no God,” “God doesn’t care about you,” “the Bible cannot be trusted,” and “your good works will get you into heaven.” The apostle Paul tells us that Satan “masquerades as an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14), so that what he says and does sounds good and seems reasonable. But it is nothing more than a false appearance.
Many of Satan’s lies tend to perpetuate themselves. This is what happened when Eve convinced Adam to also believe the devil’s lie. Today, Satan still uses people to spread his lies for him. Often, he uses charismatic but foolish people to further his falsehoods, as in the case of false religions and cults.
The Bible has many names for Satan to describe his true nature, including “ruler of this world” (John 12:31), “god of this age” (2 Corinthians 4:4), “tempter” (1 Thessalonians 3:5), “deceiver” (Revelation 12:9), “Beelzebub” (literally, “lord of the flies,” the ruler of demons, in Matthew 10:25), and “Belial,” meaning “wicked” (2 Corinthians 6:15).
Satan has told more lies to more people (and even angels) than any other being ever created. His success depends on people believing his lies. He has used everything from “little white lies” to huge, pants-on-fire whoppers to deceive folks. Adolph Hitler, a man who learned how to lie effectively, once said, “If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.”
Whether a lie is small or large is not really the issue. Lies are of the devil. The Bible teaches that all liars “will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death” (Revelation 21:8). Warnings are never pleasant, but they are better than ignorance of danger; the Bible faithfully warns sinners of danger, including the danger of lying. Proverbs 19:9 also teaches that liars will be punished.
Jesus is the Truth (John 14:6), and He will never deceive you. Thankfully, Jesus is also the Savior, and His death and resurrection provide the basis for your forgiveness of all sin, including the sin of lying. Come to Jesus in faith and humility, and you will find that “you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
Die vader van leuens
Jesus praat met ‘n groep Jode en sê: “Julle behoort aan julle vader, die duiwel, en julle wil die begeertes van julle vader uitvoer. Hy was van die begin af ‘n moordenaar en het nie aan die waarheid vasgehou nie, want daar is geen waarheid in hom nie. Wanneer hy lieg, praat hy sy eie taal, want hy is ‘n leuenaar en die vader van die leuens” (Johannes 8:44).
Satan is die “vader van die leuens” in die sin dat hy die oorspronklike leuenaar is. Hy is die “vader” van die leuens op dieselfde manier as wat Martin Luther die “vader” van die Hervorming is en Robert Goddard die “vader” van moderne vuurpyle. Satan het die eerste leuen in die opgetekende geskiedenis aan Eva vertel, in die Tuin van Eden. Nadat hy saad van twyfel in Eva se gedagtes gesaai het met ‘n vraag (Genesis 3:1), weerspreek hy God se Woord direk deur vir haar te sê: “Julle sal gewis nie sterwe nie” (Genesis 3:4). Met daardie leuen het Satan Eva na haar dood gelei; Adam het gevolg, en ons almal ook.
Leuens is Satan se primêre wapen teen God se kinders. Hy gebruik die taktiek van bedrog om mense van hul hemelse Vader te skei. Van sy meer algemene leuens is “daar is geen God nie”, “God gee nie om vir jou nie”, “die Bybel kan nie vertrou word nie” en “jou goeie werke sal jou in die hemel kry”. Die apostel Paulus vertel ons dat Satan “voordoen as ‘n engel van die lig” (2 Korintiërs 11:14), sodat wat hy sê en doen goed klink en redelik lyk. Maar dit is niks meer as ‘n valse voorkoms nie.
Baie van Satan se leuens is geneig om hulself te laat voortduur. Dit is wat gebeur het toe Eva vir Adam oortuig het om ook die duiwel se leuen te glo. Vandag gebruik Satan steeds mense om sy leuens vir hom te versprei. Dikwels gebruik hy charismatiese maar dwase mense om sy leuens te bevorder, soos in die geval van valse godsdienste en kultusse.
Die Bybel het baie name vir Satan om sy ware aard te beskryf, insluitend “heerser van hierdie wêreld” (Johannes 12:31), “god van hierdie wêreld” (2 Korintiërs 4:4), “versoeker” (1 Tessalonisense 3:5), “bedrieër” (Openbaring 12:9), “Beëlsebul” (letterlik “heer van die vlieë”, die heerser van demone in Matteus 10:25), en “Belial”, wat “goddeloos” beteken (2 Korintiërs 6:15).
Satan het meer leuens aan meer mense (en selfs engele) vertel as enige ander wese ooit geskape. Sy sukses hang af van mense wat sy leuens glo. Hy het alles gebruik van “klein wit leuens” tot groot, vurige bonatuurlike monsters om mense te mislei. Adolf Hitler, ‘n man wat geleer het hoe om effektief te lieg, het eenkeer gesê: “As jy ‘n groot genoeg leuen vertel en dit gereeld genoeg vertel, sal dit geglo word.”
Of ‘n leuen klein of groot is, is nie regtig die kwessie nie. Leuens is van die duiwel. Die Bybel leer dat alle leuenaars “na die vuurpoel van brandende swael oorgelewer sal word. Dit is die tweede dood” (Openbaring 21:8). Waarskuwings is nooit aangenaam nie, maar hulle is beter as onkunde oor gevaar; die Bybel waarsku sondaars getrou teen gevaar, insluitend die gevaar van leuens. Spreuke 19:9 leer ook dat leuenaars gestraf sal word.
Jesus is die Waarheid (Johannes 14:6), en Hy sal jou nooit mislei nie. Gelukkig is Jesus ook die Verlosser, en Sy dood en opstanding bied die basis vir jou vergifnis van alle sonde, insluitend die sonde van leuens. Kom na Jesus in geloof en nederigheid, en jy sal vind dat “julle die waarheid sal ken, en die waarheid sal julle vrymaak” (Johannes 8:32).

Bible Teaching of the Day
The god of this world
The phrase god of this world (or god of this age) indicates that Satan is the major influence on the ideals, opinions, goals, and views of the majority of people. His influence encompasses the world’s philosophies, education, and commerce. When people live as if there is no God, they by default follow the god of this world. The unholy thoughts, destructive ideas, wild speculations, and false religions of this world have sprung from Satan’s lies and deceptions.
Satan is also called the “prince of the power of the air” in Ephesians 2:2. He is the “ruler of this world” in John 12:31. These titles and many more signify Satan’s capabilities. He wields a certain amount of authority and power in this world. He is not a king, but a prince, a ruler of some sort. In some way he rules over the world and the people in it: “The whole world is under the control of the evil one” (1 John 5:19).
This is not to say that Satan rules the world completely; God is still sovereign. Satan is not God—capital G—he is a god—small g. God, in His infinite, inscrutable wisdom, has allowed Satan to operate in this world within the boundaries God has set for him. Satan’s limits are clearly seen in Job 1 and 2. There, Satan must give an account of himself to God, and it seems he must have God’s permission to carry out his plans. At no time can Satan do all he wants, for God restricts his actions.
Satan may be the god of this world, but his domain is limited to unbelievers. Born-again children of God are no longer under the rule of Satan. God the Father “has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves” (Colossians 1:13). The apostle Paul was sent by God to turn people “from the power of Satan to God” (Acts 26:18). Unbelievers, however free they may think they are, are caught “in the snare of the devil” (2 Timothy 2:26) and lie in the “power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19).
As the god of this world, Satan exercises his power over the unbelieving world to keep them from Jesus. Second Corinthians 4:4 indicates that he is responsible for the spiritual blindness of people without Christ: “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ.” Satan snatches the gospel from people’s hearts (Matthew 13:19). He promotes false philosophies and “doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1, NKJV). Satan’s philosophies are the fortresses in which people are imprisoned, and they must be set free by Christ.
As the god of this world, Satan has spread his lies far and wide. Many of his lies have been successful in taking root and deceiving millions. Here are a few of his more popular ones:
- “God doesn’t exist”
- “God doesn’t care”
- “God cannot be trusted”
- “God is evil”
- “Jesus did not rise again”
- “You can go to heaven if you’re good enough” and many more ……..
As the god of this world, Satan puts forward his agenda, and the unbelievers in the world follow. Thankfully, our Lord is greater than the god of this world, as He proved every time He cast out a demon (e.g., Mark 1:39). Jesus came “to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness” (Isaiah 42:7). The god of this world is no match for Him (John 12:31).
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Die god van hierdie wêreld
Die frase god van hierdie wêreld (of god van hierdie eeu) dui daarop dat Satan die grootste invloed op die ideale, menings, doelwitte en sienings van die meerderheid mense het. Sy invloed omvat die wêreld se filosofieë, opvoeding en handel. Wanneer mense leef asof daar geen God is nie, volg hulle by verstek die god van hierdie wêreld. Die onheilige gedagtes, vernietigende idees, wilde spekulasies en valse godsdienste van hierdie wêreld het ontstaan uit Satan se leuens en misleidings.
Satan word ook die “vors van die mag van die lug” in Efesiërs 2:2 genoem. Hy is die “heerser van hierdie wêreld” in Johannes 12:31. Hierdie titels en vele meer dui op Satan se vermoëns. Hy beoefen ‘n sekere mate van gesag en mag in hierdie wêreld. Hy is nie ‘n koning nie, maar ‘n prins, ‘n heerser van een of ander aard. Op een of ander manier heers hy oor die wêreld en die mense daarin: “Die hele wêreld is in die mag van die bose” (1 Johannes 5:19).
Dit wil nie sê dat Satan die wêreld volledig regeer nie; God is steeds soewerein. Satan is nie God nie—hoofletter G—hy is ‘n god—klein g. God, in Sy oneindige, ondeurgrondelike wysheid, het Satan toegelaat om in hierdie wêreld te opereer binne die grense wat God vir hom gestel het. Satan se beperkings word duidelik gesien in Job 1 en 2. Daar moet Satan rekenskap van homself aan God gee, en dit lyk asof hy God se toestemming moet hê om sy planne uit te voer. Satan kan op geen tydstip alles doen wat hy wil nie, want God beperk sy optrede.
Satan mag die god van hierdie wêreld wees, maar sy domein is beperk tot ongelowiges. Wedergebore kinders van God is nie meer onder die heerskappy van Satan nie. God die Vader “het ons gered uit die heerskappy van die duisternis en ons in die koninkryk van die Seun wat Hy liefhet gebring” (Kolossense 1:13). Die apostel Paulus is deur God gestuur om mense “van die mag van Satan tot God te bekeer” (Handelinge 26:18). Ongelowiges, hoe vry hulle ook al mag dink hulle is, word vasgevang “in die strik van die duiwel” (2 Timoteus 2:26) en lê in die “mag van die bose” (1 Johannes 5:19).
As die god van hierdie wêreld oefen Satan sy mag oor die ongelowige wêreld uit om hulle van Jesus af te weer. Tweede Korintiërs 4:4 dui aan dat hy verantwoordelik is vir die geestelike blindheid van mense sonder Christus: “Die god van hierdie wêreld het die sinne van die ongelowiges verblind, sodat hulle die lig van die evangelie van die heerlikheid van Christus nie kan sien nie.” Satan ruk die evangelie uit mense se harte (Matteus 13:19). Hy bevorder valse filosofieë en “leerstellings van duiwels” (1 Timoteus 4:1). Satan se filosofieë is die vestings waarin mense gevange gehou word, en hulle moet deur Christus vrygemaak word.
As die god van hierdie wêreld het Satan sy leuens wyd en syd versprei. Baie van sy leuens was suksesvol om wortel te skiet en miljoene te mislei. Hier is ‘n paar van sy meer gewilde voorbeelde:
- “God bestaan nie”
- “God gee nie om nie”
- “God kan nie vertrou word nie”
- “God is boos”
- “Jesus het nie weer opgestaan nie”
- “Jy kan hemel toe gaan as jy goed genoeg is” en Nog Vele meer …….
As die god van hierdie wêreld, stel Satan sy agenda voor, en die ongelowiges in die wêreld volg. Gelukkig is ons Here groter as die god van hierdie wêreld, soos Hy elke keer bewys het wanneer Hy ‘n demoon uitgedryf het (bv. Markus 1:39). Jesus het gekom “om blinde oë oop te maak, gevangenes uit die tronk te bevry en dié wat in die duisternis sit, uit die kerker te bevry” (Jesaja 42:7). Die god van hierdie wêreld is geen pasmaat vir Hom nie (Johannes 12:31).
Today’s Devotional
Resist the devil !!!
The phrase “resist the devil” is found in James 4:7 where the apostle James exhorts believers to resist the devil in order to cause him to flee or “run away” from us. To resist means to withstand, strive against, or oppose in some manner. Resistance can be a defensive maneuver on our part, such as resisting or withstanding the temptation to sin. Or it can be an action we take to use the only offensive weapon in the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-18), the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. Using the Scriptures to expose Satan’s lies and temptations is the most effective way to strive against and defeat them.
It is important to read the whole verse: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). Resisting the devil must be accompanied by submitting to God. A disobedient or unsubmissive believer will not see victory.
The apostle John records Jesus saying about Satan, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). As Christians, we have full life when we are aware of the reality of the presence of evil. As we struggle to stand firm in our faith, we must realize that the enemies we are up against are not merely human ideas, but real forces that come from the powers of darkness. The Bible says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).
Why will resistance cause the devil to flee? Because he knows he cannot have victory over us if we are prepared to do battle against him. As mentioned before, the Bible assures us that we need only put on the full armor of God to be fully protected from evil and to actively resist it. There is nothing more frightening to Satan than a believer who is fully equipped with spiritual armor, beginning with the “helmet of salvation,” which protects our minds, and the “breastplate of righteousness,” which protects our hearts because it is the righteousness of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Only a true believer wears these because only those who have received God’s forgiveness by grace through faith have eternal salvation and the righteousness of Christ imputed to them.
Once fitted with the helmet and breastplate (literally, “chest protector”), we are then to take up other defensive weapons with which to battle Satan: truth, the readiness to proclaim the gospel, and the faith that shields us from all the flaming arrows of the evil one. The final piece of armor is prayer. We pray for strength to resist evil and to actively battle against it. We pray for wisdom in the conflict, and most of all, we remain steadfast in our prayers, both for the ability to resist the devil and also for other believers who struggle in the same battle. When the church, the body of Christ, stands united against evil, fully equipped with the armor of God, we present a formidable foe to the evil one and we will see God get the glory for the victory.
As a side note, the Bible never gives Christians the authority to “rebuke” the devil, only to resist him. Zechariah 3:2 tells us that it is the Lord who rebukes Satan. Even Michael, one of the most powerful of the angels, did not dare to accuse Satan, but rather said, “The Lord rebuke you” (Jude 1:9). In response to Satan’s attacks, Christians should redouble our efforts to clothe ourselves in the spiritual armor, wield the Word of God, and rely on His power through prayer. Instead of focusing on “rebuking” the devil, we should focus on resisting him with the full armor of God.
Vandag se Bemoediging
Weerstaan die duiwel !!!
Die frase “weerstaan die duiwel” word in Jakobus 4:7 gevind waar die apostel Jakobus gelowiges aanspoor om die duiwel te weerstaan om hom te laat vlug of “weg te hardloop” van ons. Om te weerstaan beteken om te weerstaan, daarteen te stry of op een of ander manier teen te staan. Weerstand kan ‘n verdedigende maneuver van ons kant wees, soos om die versoeking om te sondig te weerstaan of te weerstaan. Of dit kan ‘n aksie wees wat ons neem om die enigste aanvallende wapen in die volle wapenrusting van God (Efesiërs 6:13-18) te gebruik, die swaard van die Gees wat die Woord van God is. Om die Skrif te gebruik om Satan se leuens en versoekings bloot te lê, is die mees effektiewe manier om daarteen te stry en hulle te verslaan.
Dit is belangrik om die hele vers te lees: “Onderwerp julle dan aan God. Weerstaan die duiwel, en hy sal van julle wegvlug” (Jakobus 4:7). Weerstand teen die duiwel moet gepaard gaan met onderwerping aan God. ‘n Ongehoorsame of ononderdanige gelowige sal nie oorwinning sien nie.
Die apostel Johannes teken Jesus aan wat oor Satan sê: “Die dief kom net steel en slag en verwoes; Ek het gekom sodat hulle lewe kan hê, en dit in oorvloed” (Johannes 10:10). As Christene het ons volle lewe wanneer ons bewus is van die werklikheid van die teenwoordigheid van die bose. Terwyl ons sukkel om vas te staan in ons geloof, moet ons besef dat die vyande teen wie ons te staan kom, nie bloot menslike idees is nie, maar werklike magte wat uit die magte van die duisternis kom. Die Bybel sê: “Want ons worstelstryd is nie teen vlees en bloed nie, maar teen die owerhede, teen die magte, teen die wêreldheersers van die duisternis van hierdie eeu, teen die bose geeste in die hemele” (Efesiërs 6:12).
Waarom sal weerstand die duiwel laat vlug? Omdat hy weet dat hy nie oorwinning oor ons kan behaal as ons voorbereid is om teen hom te veg nie. Soos voorheen genoem, verseker die Bybel ons dat ons net die volle wapenrusting van God hoef aan te trek om ten volle teen die bose beskerm te word en dit aktief te weerstaan. Daar is niks meer vreesaanjaend vir Satan as ‘n gelowige wat ten volle toegerus is met geestelike wapenrusting nie, beginnende met die “helm van verlossing”, wat ons gedagtes beskerm, en die “borsharnas van geregtigheid”, wat ons harte beskerm omdat dit die geregtigheid van Christus is (2 Korintiërs 5:21). Slegs ‘n ware gelowige dra hierdie, want slegs diegene wat God se vergifnis deur genade deur geloof ontvang het, het ewige verlossing en die geregtigheid van Christus word aan hulle toegereken.
Sodra ons toegerus is met die helm en borsharnas (letterlik “borsbeskermer”), moet ons ander verdedigingswapens opneem om Satan mee te beveg: waarheid, die gereedheid om die evangelie te verkondig, en die geloof wat ons beskerm teen al die vurige pyle van die bose. Die laaste stuk wapenrusting is gebed. Ons bid vir krag om die bose te weerstaan en aktief daarteen te veg. Ons bid vir wysheid in die konflik, en bowenal bly ons standvastig in ons gebede, beide vir die vermoë om die duiwel te weerstaan en ook vir ander gelowiges wat in dieselfde stryd worstel. Wanneer die kerk, die liggaam van Christus, verenig staan teen die bose, ten volle toegerus met die wapenrusting van God, bied ons ‘n gedugte vyand aan die bose een en ons sal sien dat God die eer vir die oorwinning kry.
Terloops, die Bybel gee Christene nooit die gesag om die duiwel te “bestraf” nie, net om hom te weerstaan. Sagaria 3:2 sê vir ons dat dit die Here is wat Satan bestraf. Selfs Migael, een van die magtigste van die engele, het nie gewaag om Satan te beskuldig nie, maar het eerder gesê: “Mag die Here julle bestraf” (Judas 1:9). In reaksie op Satan se aanvalle, moet Christene ons pogings verdubbel om onsself in die geestelike wapenrusting te beklee, die Woord van God te gebruik en op Sy krag deur gebed te vertrou. In plaas daarvan om te fokus op die “bestraf” van die duiwel, moet ons fokus op die weerstaan van hom met die volle wapenrusting van God.

Bible Prophecy in the News
Senior European officials called for calm, while U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran not to attack U.S. military assets in the region.
World leaders reacted to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran on Sunday after Iranian strikes on Israel killed at least 10 civilians overnight.
President Donald Trump distanced his administration from the Israeli attack on Iranian infrastructure, stressing that Washington was still open to a nuclear deal with Tehran.
“The U.S. had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” he continued.
“However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel and end this bloody conflict!!!” he added.
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy wrote on X that the UK was “alarmed” by Iran’s overnight strikes on Israel, adding that “we must urgently de-escalate & prevent any further harm to civilians.”
Lammy added that he had spoken with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi “to urge calm”.
“Iran’s nuclear program threatens not only Israel, but also Saudi Arabia and the broader stability of the region. The countries here share a clear goal: to prevent nuclear proliferation. Germany is firmly committed to de-escalation,” German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul wrote on X.
In a conversation with his Saudi Arabian counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Wadephul said that Germany believes that the risk of “further escalation” in the region “is real.”
French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X that French “diplomatic facilities and nationals in Iran and the wider region [should] not be targeted under any circumstances.”
Macron added that he “urged the utmost restraint to avoid escalation” in conversation with Araghchi.
“Iran’s nuclear program is a serious concern and must be resolved through negotiation,” Macron wrote.
Signs of the Times
Is it a Episode of STAR WARS? ISRAEL’S ENEMIES CAN’T BELIEVE ISRAEL’S NEW LASER DEFENSE SYSTEM IS REAL
Gog and Magog Update
Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog visited the devastation in the coastal town, as Israeli fighter jets and bombers took advantage of their aerial superiority.
There was another day of tension and drama on Sunday, as Israeli forces both in the skies above Iran and intelligence agents on the ground, continued to inflict damage on the Islamic regime.
Both Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz had promised the Islamic Republic was in for a painful day, following the direct hit on Saturday night of a Bat Yam apartment block.
Seven people were killed, including a family of five who had reportedly escaped from Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
Other residential blocks in the immediate vicinity were also destroyed, with several buildings being marked for being torn down following the impact.
The building of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence was targeted, according to the London-based Iran International TV channel.
Locals reported explosions close to the Iran Air Force area in Tehran’s east and Imam Khomeini International Airport at Vahnabad.
The Iranian news agency ISNA reported at the same time that Ali Baaqawi, a nuclear scientist from the northern Iranian city of Mazandaran, was killed in a targeted strike, according to the Israeli Ynet news site.
In addition to the Israel Air Force taking full advantage of its dominance of the seemingly uncontested skies, which included attacking the country’s oil infrastructure in retaliation for the catastrophic attack in Bat Yam.
There were several reports of car bombings and even masked men shooting at targets.
Speculation has been rife that these operatives were Israel’s Mossad intrelligence agents roaming Tehran’s streets to take out high-value targets.
An Israeli military official said that a long list of Iranian targets remains untouched.
Since June 13, the Israeli military has conducted approximately 170 airstrikes, striking more than 720 sites across Iran, according to Iran International.
Netanyahu said, “We will hit every target belonging to the Ayatollah’s regime.”
In a similar vein, Katz warned that ““If [Iran’s leader Ali] Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn.”

Introduction to the Bible – Bible Summary
Summary of the Book of 2 John
Author: The Book of 2 John does not directly name its author. The tradition from the
earliest days of the church states that the author was the apostle John. There have been
various conjectures over the years that another disciple of Christ named John may have
been responsible for this letter. However, all the evidence points to the author as John
the beloved disciple who also wrote the Gospel of John.
Date of Writing: The Book of 2 John would most likely have been written at about the
same time as John’s other letters, 1 and 3 John, between A.D. 85-95.
Purpose of Writing: The Book of 2 John is an urgent plea that the readers of John’s
letter should show their love for God and His Son, Jesus, by obeying the commandment
to love each other and live their lives in obedience to the Scriptures. The Book of 2 John
is also a strong warning to be on the lookout for deceivers who were going about
denying the Incarnation, saying that Christ had not actually come in the flesh.
Key Verses:
2 John 6: “And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have
heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.”
2 John 8-9: “Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you
may be rewarded fully. Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching
of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and
the Son.”
Brief Summary: The Book of 2 John is addressed to “the chosen lady and her children.”
This could either have been a lady of important standing in the church or a code which
refers to the local church and its congregation. In those days when Christians were
being persecuted such coded salutations were often used.
The Book of 2 John is largely concerned with an urgent warning concerning deceivers
who were not teaching the exact doctrine of Christ and who maintained that Jesus did
not actually come in the flesh. Such a teaching denies Jesus’ humanity. John is very
anxious that true believers should be aware of these false teachers and have nothing to
do with them.
Connections: John describes love not as an emotion or feeling, but as obedience to the
commandments of God. Jesus reiterated the importance of the commandments,
especially the “first and greatest commandment,” love for God (Deuteronomy 6:5), and
the second, love for one another (Matthew 22:37-40; Leviticus 19:18). Far from
abolishing the Old Testament law of God, Jesus came to fulfill it by providing the means
of its fulfillment in Himself.
Practical Application: It is extremely important that we check everything we see, hear,
and read that claims to be “Christian” with the Scriptures. This cannot be too strongly
emphasized because one of Satan’s greatest weapons is deceit. It is very easy to be
taken in by a new and exciting doctrine that appears to be based on Scripture but
which, if examined closely, is in fact a departure from the Word of God. If what appears
to be happening does not line up explicitly with Scripture, then this is false and not of
the Spirit, and we should have nothing to do with it.
Inleiding tot die Bybel – Bybel Samevatting
Opsomming van die Boek van 2
Johannes
Skrywer: Die Boek van 2 Johannes noem nie die skrywer daarvan direk nie. Die tradisie
uit die vroegste dae van die kerk sê dat die skrywer die apostel Johannes was. Daar was
verskeie vermoedens oor die jare dat ‘n ander dissipel van Christus genaamd Johannes
vir hierdie brief moontlik verantwoordelik was. Al die bewyse dui egter op die skrywer as
Johannes die geliefde dissipel wat ook die Evangelie van Johannes geskryf het.
Datum van Skrywe: Die Boek van 2 Johannes sou heel waarskynlik op ongeveer
dieselfde tyd geskryf gewees het as Johannes se ander briewe, 1 en 3 Johannes, tussen
85-95 nC.
Doel van Skrywe: Die Boek van 2 Johannes is ‘n dringende pleidooi dat die lesers van
Johannes se brief hulle liefde vir God en Sy Seun, Jesus, moet toon deur die gebod te
gehoorsaam om mekaar lief te hê en hulle lewens in gehoorsaamheid aan die Skrif te
leef. Die Boek van 2 Johannes is ook ‘n sterk waarskuwing om op die uitkyk te wees vir
bedrieërs wat besig was om die Menswording te ontken en te sê dat Christus nie eintlik
in die vlees gekom het nie.
Sleutelverse:
2 Johannes 6 : “En dit is die liefde: dat ons in gehoorsaamheid aan sy gebooie wandel.
Soos julle van die begin af gehoor het, is sy opdrag dat julle in liefde moet wandel.”
2 Johannes 8-9 : “Pas op dat jy nie verloor waarvoor jy gewerk het nie, maar dat jy ten
volle beloon kan word. Elkeen wat vooruit hardloop en nie volhard in die leer van
Christus nie, het God nie; wie in die lering het beide die Vader en die Seun.”
Kort opsomming: Die Boek van 2 Johannes is gerig aan “die uitverkore vrou en haar
kinders.” Dit kon óf ‘n dame van belangrike aansien in die kerk gewees het óf ‘n kode
wat na die plaaslike kerk en sy gemeente verwys. In daardie dae toe Christene vervolg is,
is sulke gekodeerde begroetings dikwels gebruik.
Die Boek van 2 Johannes is grootliks gemoeid met ‘n dringende waarskuwing
aangaande misleiers wat nie die presiese leerstelling van Christus geleer het nie en wat
volgehou het dat Jesus nie eintlik in die vlees gekom het nie. So ‘n lering ontken Jesus
se menslikheid. Johannes is baie angstig dat ware gelowiges bewus moet wees van
hierdie valse leraars en niks met hulle te doen het nie.
Verbindings: Johannes beskryf liefde nie as ‘n emosie of gevoel nie, maar as
gehoorsaamheid aan die gebooie van God. Jesus het die belangrikheid van die gebooie
herhaal, veral die “eerste en grootste gebod,” liefde vir God ( Deuteronomium 6:5 ), en
die tweede, liefde vir mekaar ( Matteus 22:37-40 ; Levitikus 19:18 ). Ver van die afskaffing
van die Ou Testamentiese wet van God, het Jesus dit kom vervul deur die middel van die
vervulling daarvan in Homself te voorsien.
Praktiese toepassing: Dit is uiters belangrik dat ons alles wat ons sien, hoor en lees wat
beweer dat dit “Christelik” is, met die Skrif nagaan. Dit kan nie te sterk beklemtoon word
nie, want een van Satan se grootste wapens is bedrog. Dit is baie maklik om ingeneem
te word deur ‘n nuwe en opwindende leerstelling wat blykbaar op die Skrif gebaseer is,
maar wat, as dit noukeurig ondersoek word, in werklikheid ‘n afwyking van die Woord
van God is. As dit wat blyk te gebeur nie uitdruklik ooreenstem met die Skrif nie, dan is
dit vals en nie van die Gees nie, en moet ons niks daarmee te doen hê nie.
