He Who Does Good is of God?
“I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say. Therefore if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly. Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God. Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.” (3 John 1:9-12 WEB)
In the apostle John’s letter to Gaius and the church, he told them that a person who does good is of God, while one who does evil has not seen God.
Is this teaching good works as a proof of salvation?
Well, if we read in the context of the passage, John was referring to Diotrephes who was hindering Christians in particular. Diotrephes rejected the apostles’ authority, slandered them, and he cast out from the church whoever showed support or hospitality to the missionaries that were sent by the apostles. Diotrephes enjoyed the glory of being “first among them” as a leader but he was not interested in the truth of the Gospel.
John was calling the authenticity of Diotrephes’ faith into question, doubting that the man was saved.
It is apparent that Diotrephes “has not seen God”—he did not have a personal revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, and did not love Christians because he was likely not a true one. He just wanted to be a leader over a group of people, to enjoy the thrill of calling the shots and feeling a vain sense of importance.
When John talked about “he who does good is of God”, we see the context clearly that John meant doing good to Christians, acting according to God’s will and ways.
When an unbeliever does something good like giving to charity through his pagan temple or speaking encouraging words to cheer up a depressed friend, that is not the kind of “good” that John is referring to. If that were so, then every unbeliever who regularly does something good could be called “of God”.
No, the one who does good by believing and proclaiming the Spirit-inspired words of the apostles (the New Testament is mostly written by the apostles), who welcomes and loves fellow Christian brethren, demonstrates that he is a true believer. Not just any general acts of good, but love towards God (Yahweh) and fellow Christians who the apostle Paul calls “the household of the faith”.
“So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:10 WEB)
In a subsequent chapter in the same letter, John wrote something that clearly shows that he meant doing good in the sense of doing good (showing love) to fellow Christians:
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love...If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.” (1 John 4:7-8, 20-21 WEB)
Firstly, John addressed the audience as “beloved”, showing us that he was speaking to Christians, not just all people in general. God’s will is for Christians to have brotherly love for one another, to treat each other as family, even though we may not be biologically related by blood, but we are of the same family in the Holy Spirit.
John then proceeded to explain how to recognize a false believer: a person who uses the mouth to claim that he loves God, but with his actions shows that he hates Christians and even persecutes them. Such a person is obviously just lying and is not really born-again.
In contrast to Diotrephes, John commends Demetrius for being a true Christian who walks in the truth of the Gospel. He has this testimony from the apostles and from the church. May we be like Demetrius, whose faith can be clearly seen, such that the way we live brings glory to God!

This clip is from: Joseph Prince—Follow the Promptings of the Spirit (6 Dec 2020) @josephprince
If you're wondering how to start sensing God's leading, Pastor Prince shares that one of the best ways is simply to start moving! That's right, when you take a step forward towards a decision, that's when you can sense the peace (or lack of it) in your heart, signaling whether you're headed in the right direction. Just as a GPS system can't offer directions until the car starts moving, the Holy Spirit prompts you when you start taking the next step or two.
If you're hesitating or fretting over some choices in your life, or even seeking to move in the gifts of the Spirit, can we encourage you to make a move first and allow the Lord to lead you along one step at a time? It's often a process and journey to eventually reach the end point but as you take each step with the Lord, you can be assured that He already knows where you're going to end up. Not only will He make sure you get there (see Phil. 1:6), you can be assured that it will be restful and for your good (see Rom 8:28). So, take heart and while you plan your path, let Him direct you step by step when to move ahead or stop, and even help you when you need to change your plans (see Pro. 16:9)!

"What if , in your sleep, you dreamt.
In your dream , you went to heaven ,
and there plucked a strange n beautiful flower.
And what if , when u woke ,
you had that flower in your hand ,
what then? "
hey there ! I've been quiet for awhile, but here u go!!
I tried something utterly new to me.
thought of trying to use samples and synths to create a 3 minute track.
the beginning starts with a feeling of being asleep,
the middle is kinda conscious.
and the end wraps up with a group bus frequency sweep !
the story behind this is actually inspired by a drama called 'extraordinary you'. I love the storyline !
so, the characters were in a fantasy comic book world where only those who have a sense of self important remembers their true self.
I , then coincidently found a poem on freesounds.com which I think in a way explained the movie in 3 sentences which I spreaded them through out the song.
u guys should binge on that kdrama hahaha
oh btw, the voices are just samples from online. it's not me :b
hope you guys like this!
gonna try smtg new again soon ! its fun haha
