How to Thrive

Truth, as revealed by God, and love are the keys to us thriving in all areas of our life!
 
In 3 John 3 we see thatJohn wants Gaius to have the resources, health and all things needed to carry out the calling upon his life - to live an abundant life.
 
The prosperous soul walks in the truth and love, submits to apostolic authority, and imitates godly examples.
 
The three characters named in the book provide us with keys to pursuing a prosperous soul:
 
The prosperous soul walks in the truth and love
 To do this we need:
  • To know the truth
  • To walk and grow in the truth
  • To express our love in actions
 
The impoverished soul as seen in Diotrephes (a negative example) 
  • Loves to be first
  • Uses gossip and slander to run down others
  • Uses relationships to gain power
  • Bullies and intimidates others
 
How do you discern whether a person is worth imitating or not? Look for evidence in the person’s life of:
  • The fruit of the Spirit in his or her character. 
  • Deeds of love 
  • A positive reputation. John says, “the truth itself” bore witness to Demetrius’ good character. This means that his life was consistent with the character qualities and moral standards of God’s Word. 
 
God Bless
Pastor Greg
