Yes Indeed I'm Walking

TOPIC: Obedience

SCRIPTURE: "For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth." (3 John 1: 3-4)

OBSERVATION: The "truth" is the truth about Jesus Christ, as opposed to the lies of the false teachers.

APPLICATION: As I was reading through 3 John the phrase "walking in the truth" was repeated. God has tendency to speak through repetition!

SO

R U walking in the truth?

More specifically

Is the life of Jesus Christ
being lived
in
&
through you?

?
