John, Truth
John
wrote this letter to his friend Gaius to encourage him in a difficult situation
in his local church. Again, he concentrated on making God's truth a vital part
of life.
Walking in truth. People could see the truth in Gaius because he loved it and walked in
obedience to it, and that brought great joy to John. Every Christian parent can
make this a prayer.
Working for truth. When you assist and encourage God's servants, you become a fellow worker
with them in spreading the truth. Christian hospitality was important in those
days and ought to be revived today.
Welcoming the truth. Can you imagine Diotrephes rejecting a message from the apostle John! He
was so “separated” that he did not even receive John's friends. When we welcome
God's people we welcome God's truth.
Witnessing
for the truth. Not all church members are like Diotrephes there are people like
Demetrius who love the truth and live it. They are the ones who make the local
church healthy.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
