1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth.
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
The Truth
ἀλήθεια
Truth - utilized 109 times in the New Testament
Sets us free - Jn. 8:32
Is not present in the enemy - John 8:44
Jesus is the Truth - Jn. 14:6
The Helper is the Spirit of Truth - Jn. 15:26
Those who forsake the Truth will find wrath and fury - Rom. 2:8
Johanine epistles are full of references to the Truth
The Walking
If we aren’t walking in Truth, we cannot worship Jn. 4:23-24
John 4:23–24 (ESV)
But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
περιπατέω - to walk or to live / behave
To walk in (‘follow’, RSV) the truth is more than to give assent to it.
It means to apply it to one’s behaviour.
Whoever ‘walks in the truth’ is an integrated believer in whom there is no dichotomy between profession and practice.
On the contrary, there is in him an exact correspondence between creed and conduct.
The Rejoicing
Such conformity of life to the truth on the part of his children brought John greater joy than anything else.
To him truth mattered.
