Living in Truth

Verse of The Day: 3 John 1:3 NKJV

“For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.”

The life of Gaius, as described in Scripture, teaches us that truth must be more than intellectual assent; it must transform our hearts and direct our lives. Gaius didn’t just know the truth—he lived it. Without this harmony, one’s profession of faith lacks authenticity. Truth must penetrate the depths of our being, becoming a source of spiritual nourishment that strengthens and sustains us.

The truth of God’s Word, when embraced in the heart, becomes a living force. Like food digested by the body, it provides spiritual energy that overflows into our words and actions. Just as light within a lantern shines outward, so the truth within a believer radiates through a life of integrity, holiness, and love.

When we walk in the truth, our lives are characterised by consistency, faithfulness, and simplicity. Our actions testify to the transformative power of the gospel, showing that we are governed by God’s Spirit. Just as the food of a silkworm colours its cocoon, the spiritual food we consume will naturally affect every aspect of our lives.

Let us examine our hearts. Does the truth we profess shape the way we live? May our walk today bear evidence of the truth residing within us, bringing glory to God and shining as a witness to others.
