What does it take to be the real deal in your faith? In 2 John, the apostle challenges believers to walk in truth, live in love, and guard against deception. These timeless words show us how to remain authentic in a world of shifting definitions and false teaching.

In a city saturated with false worship and spiritual pressure, the church in Pergamum was commended for holding fast to their faith—even unto death. But Jesus also called out their compromise, warning them to repent from blending truth with cultural values. This message challenges us to stand firm, resist spiritual deceit, and pursue wholehearted loyalty to Christ, who alone holds true authority.
