• I John 5:16-21; II John 1:1-7
  • I John 5:16 – The sin “leading to death” is the sin that one will not repent of. We can pray that a person will repent and turn from their sin, but it makes no sense to pray that God will forgive someone for a sin they have not repented of.
  • II John 1:1
    • Introduction

      • Purpose: To rejoice with the elect lady because her children walked in truth and to encourage her.
    • Truth is a state one can be in when he is living righteously before God – he is walking in truth.
  • II John 1:6 – See John 13:35. The command here is what he just mentioned in II John 1:5 – loving one another.
