Walking in the Truth - 3 John 1-15

About this episode

This episode explores the connection between truth and love through the lens of the apostle John's third epistle.

Today we consider the apostle John's third epistle and understand the vital connection between truth and love. This letter introduces the reader to three distinct individuals: Gaius, Diotrephes, and Demetrius. Each of these men had a different reputation and testimony. Each of these men help us see a different way to live, but the only way that leads to life is walking in the truth. Scripture text is 3 John 1-15.
