Counterfeit Christianity and Counterfeit Christians These “deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ, … have gone out into the world.” They have not confessed the truth like the apostles have done. They’re actually opposed to the truth. But in most cases, they won’t have that on the front of their T-shirts. Deceivers are deceitful. So you don’t have a T-shirt that says, “I am opposed to the truth. May I come into your house and talk to you about the Bible?” No, you don’t have a T-shirt at all. You dress nicely and so on, and you use terminology and language which seems just entirely biblical in its orientation. You don’t have a baseball cap on that says on the front of it, “Deceiver,” ’cause you would be a horrible deceiver if you identified yourself as a deceiver. The key to being a deceiver is that nobody knows you’re a deceiver. That’s what makes it so difficult. That’s why a knowledge of the truth is so foundationally important. The best of deviations are subtle—almost undetectable at first glance. ~ Alistair Begg

New Testament: 2 John 1:1-13

Summary: Walking in Truth and Love

This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. John defines love, not as a sentiment or an emotion, but as obedience to God’s commands (1 John 5:2-3). Those who are obedient to the truth as contained in God’s commandments, the fundamentals of the faith (1 John 2:3-11), are identified as walking in love. John 14:15, John 14:21; John 15:10.  ~ MacArthur Bible Commentary
