Walking in Truth: Inner Joy

3 John 1:3-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 3 John 1 in context

Scripture Focus

3For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
4I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
5Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
3 John 1:3-5

Biblical Context

The passage celebrates joy when the truth is witnessed in a person and when that truth is lived through faithful action toward both friends and strangers.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this brief letter, truth is not merely doctrine but a state of consciousness. When the brethren testify that the truth dwells in you, they are naming a condition you already occupy in the I AM. Your joy arises from recognizing that your inner life, your awareness, has become the pattern by which you walk; and when your children walk in truth, it is the outward echo of that inner alignment. To do faithfully for the brethren and for strangers is to let the inner truth inform every gesture—an intimate assumption that your actions are inseparable from who you are. The aim is not to perform outward pieties, but to live from the conviction that truth is your native state; your external world reflects the inner conviction. If you want your world to change, insist that you are already the truth in action. Your state of consciousness governs your environment; your love of neighbor manifests from the inner truth you hold in mind and heart.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and affirm, 'I am walking in truth now.' Feel the quiet confidence of that state, then act today as one who loves and serves others from that inner reality.
