Never Compromise, Be Steadfast In God's Word!

2 John 1:11

"For he that biddeth him God speed

is partaker of his evil deeds."

        Here John may have addressed the same people that he addressed in the book of 1 John. Here John was speaking of, "Exhortation to Steadfastness."  We have to remember the situation. There was a time when it was touch and go whether the Christian faith would be destroyed by the speculations of false teachers who would commonly travel from church to church spreading heresy. Its very existence was in peril. "If" the church dared to even compromise with these false teachings, it could have led to a destructive corrosion of the faith.
        The problem then, and the problem now, is to find a way of living with those whose convictions  are different from our own concerning the most fundamental matters in life, without either breaking charity or being disloyal to the truth." It is there where love will find a way. The best way to destroy our enemies, is to make them our friends, and be true to that friendship. We must never compromise with mistaken or false teachings, However, we are never free from the obligation of seeking to lead them to the truth of  "The Gospel Of Jesus Christ," as the truth was taught to us, and the truth that remains within us as a Christian people.  "That God For Steadfast Believers"
        Amen!!
