2 John

“Love is God Himself living in you. Truth, as you have it, is God Himself living within you, and he says this, it has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the father commanded us. And now dear lady, I am not writing a new command, but one that we had from the very beginning. … I ask that we love one another, and this is love that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you've heard from the beginning, his commandment is that you walk in love. Do you get it? He wants you to love. In fact, he's called the Apostle of Love. For John, the whole of Jesus' teaching is thumbed up in this word, love. God is love. He actually says in his gospel, and he says here, it's actually a commandment. It's not a new commandment. You've been given this commandment, love each other. … You are commanded to love. … Love is the whole of what it means to walk in Jesus.”
