Walking in Truth

“Walking in Truth”
Blessings folk!
John wrote one more short letter that we have in the Word - 3 John.
Give close attention to what he says at the beginning…
3 John 1:1-4
The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health,
as it goes well with your soul.
For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth,
as indeed you are walking in the truth.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
ESV
John calls himself - the elder.
John is writing to Gaius - he loves Gaius.
John prayed…
- that all may go well with Gaius
- that Gaius was in good health
- that all goes well with his soul
We take such for granted.
May we not.
John expresses his joy.
He was excited to hear via the brothers about Gaius.
Gaius was walking in the truth of the faith.
John states that there is no greater joy than to hear that one’s children - in the physical or in the spiritual - are walking in truth.
May it be said of us that we are walking truth.
