Faithful Hospitality and an Example of Good Deeds

The apostle John wrote to his dear friend Gaius and rejoiced to hear that he faithfully and lovingly welcomed brothers who had traveled from far away. These traveling brothers needed hospitality and help as they continued their journey. Diotrephes was proud and refused to welcome them, and he even stopped others from helping. John encouraged Gaius to keep following what is good, because the one who does good belongs to God.

Moral

We should, like Gaius, eagerly help others and generously receive those in need, rather than being proud and selfish like Diotrephes. Those who do good belong to God; we should choose to be kind and generous, becoming a blessing to others through practical actions, and learning to love others selflessly as God does.
