Walk In The Truth
Wednesday, April 3, 2024Key Verse
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth” (3 John 1:4).
Text — 3 John 1:1-8
Message
Gaius had a clear love for people throughout his life, as well as a commitment to the truth and a true way of living. He fervently defended, preached, and believed that truth. To “adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour,” believers are expected to live moral lives that are in line with the truth they proclaim (Titus 2:10). The passage today encourages Christians to “walk in the truth.” This entails living a life that is compatible with Jesus’ teachings and acting in a truthful and honest manner. The passage also emphasizes the need of supporting and accommodating fellow Christians who are proclaiming the truth.
In today’s society, walking in the truth can entail denouncing wrongdoing and defending what is just, even if it goes against the wish of the majority. It can also mean choosing to live a life of integrity and honesty, even when it may be challenging, and being honest in our relationships and dealings with others. Ultimately, walking in the truth is about following Jesus’ example and attempting to live a life that honours God.
