🍍Fruit of the Day Devotional🍍
*FOLLOW WHAT IS GOOD*
*_11 “Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.”_*
*📗3 John 1:11📗*
Precious One, I hope you're well. God bless you for constantly studying His word. Join us for a bite of fruit.
The book of 3 John is a short letter written by the Apostle John to a Christian named Gaius. John praises Gaius for his faithfulness and hospitality to other believers, especially travelling gospel ministers. However, John also warns him about a man named Diotrephes, who loved to have control in the church and did not receive the apostles or show kindness to fellow believers. John contrasts the good example of a man named Demetrius, who lived in truth, with the bad example of Diotrephes. In verse 11, John gives Gaius a clear instruction: do not copy evil people, but follow what is good. In life, we are often influenced by the people around us. We watch, listen, and sometimes act like those we admire. But as Christians, the Bible tells us to be careful about who we imitate. John’s words remind us that our standard for living should be based on what is good in God’s eyes, not on the behaviour of those who do wrong.
Doing good is not about impressing people, it is evidence that we belong to God. When we choose kindness, honesty, forgiveness, and humility, we show the nature of our heavenly Father. But when we choose pride, hatred, lies, or selfishness, we are not reflecting God’s heart. This verse challenges us to examine our role models. Are we copying those who walk in truth and love? Or are we following those who promote gossip, greed, and division? The truth is, what we imitate shapes who we become. God calls us to follow Jesus, our perfect example. He went about doing good, healing the sick, helping the poor, and teaching the truth. As we imitate Christ, we will become lights in a dark world. Let us decide daily to reject evil and embrace good. In our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities, may our actions speak of the God we serve. Remember; people may not read the Bible, but they will read your life.
*🟩FOLLOW WHAT IS GOOD, AND YOU WILL SHOW THAT YOU ARE TRULY A CHILD OF GOD.🟩*
