Read 2 John 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;

2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.

3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

2 John 1:1-4

Biblical Context

The elder writes to the elect lady and her children, affirming that truth dwells within and will be with them forever. He blesses them with grace, mercy, and peace in truth and love.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the elder as the I AM speaking within you, addressing the elect lady and her children—the inner states you call by name. The truth that dwelleth in us is not a memory but the permanent presence of consciousness that will be with you forever. You do not seek truth; you dwell in it, and grace, mercy, and peace follow as natural expressions of that state when you stand in truth and love. The joy of finding thy children walking in truth is the savor of recognizing your inner life already aligned with the Father’s command. This is obedience not to a distant decree, but to the undeniable reality of who you are. Rest in that truth, and the Father’s favor becomes your present experience. Remember, imagination creates reality—your awareness is the realm in which all these blessings take form.

Practice This Now

Assume now that truth dwells in you as your permanent condition; close your eyes, feel the presence, and say, 'I am the truth dwelling in me, and I walk in that truth with grace, mercy, and peace.'
