IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE KING

A Study in 2nd and 3rd John

In the epistles of John we see a common theme of a fellowship shared by believers and the Lord. This fellowship is forged in conflict, against dark and sinister forces, as faith is tested and refined. The touchstone of the fellowship is found in the truth, and that truth centers in the glorious person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. To hold to this truth against all odds, all deception, and all temptation is to win a place among the ranks of those who value the fellowship of the King. It is an old story.

This compilation of notes represents the truths found in the Epistles of Second and Third John.

The spiritual life is a battle. The priesthood came from warriors. Phinehas, a levite, was the model priest-warrior in early Jewish history. The spiritual priority is the learn to be effective in prayer. Paul is an example. Priesthood begins with the attitude, heart and soul and prayer (1Ti 2:1, Joh 16:7-11). The priethood is offering ourself "a living sacrifice (Rom 12:1-2). Goldliness is conformity to Jesus Christ (1Ti 2:2). "God our saviour" is a Hebrew viewpoint -- a phrase that brings God closer to us (Tit 1:3-4, Tit 2:9, Tit 3:6).
