The Epistles of John, assigned to the writer of the Fourth Gospel and the Revelation, testify that God is love and that love is the test of religion. Second John is written to “the elect lady and her children,” probably a church; Third John is addressed to “the beloved Gaius.”

1 John 4

4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
