John’s third letter is not the first time he mentioned his joy seeing God’s children walking in truth. He wrote similar things in his second letter as well.
It is not enough to say that we are Christians or to say that we believe. James tells us that even the demons believe, but they are not saved (James 2:19). A truly changed heart is reflected in the way that we live our lives, the way we speak to and about others, the way we handle hardship and disappointment, the way that we stand up for truth, and the way we chose our priorities.
Walking in truth is more than agreeing with Scripture; it is loving God’s Word and His ways, no matter how unpopular that truth might be with those around us. With the help of God, we will be able to stand firm and live according to His commandments.
Lord, I am so grateful that You don’t leave me on my own, but that You give me everything I need for life and godliness. Help me to remember to call out to You on a daily basis so I can honor You with my life. Amen.

About this Plan
The Apostle John had one clear message in his letters: Love one another. In the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, the beloved disciple encouraged followers of Christ to love God by following His commands, and to love and honor fellow believers. John’s message is incredibly relevant to us today, offering insight to us as we seek to live like Jesus lived and love like Jesus loved.
