truth

I realize that “truth” isn’t a gift most would say.

But it is the one thing that changed my life for the better.

Living in a world where there’s so much uncertainty this becomes the one thing you desire most.

Truth.

Not an idea, but a firm foundation laid out before you.

One that doesn’t leave nor forsake you but continues to teach you the way and how to walk in it.

It’s really simple for me, I want to live in assurance of salvation.

So the words of the Bible like these below, are worth a lot to me.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’

For example in John 8 much has happened in a few short verses. First there was an adulterous woman who was caught in adultery, and the truth was that no one had the right to cast stones because they all had sin issues. Truth.

Reminding us that God’s Son Jesus did not come to condemn but to save. Truth.

Next the crowd around Him was asking why they should believe Him? He explains that He is the light of the world and gives that light to those who walk in darkness. It’s a gift. Many were hearing for the first time, what made common sense to them. Their eyes were open to knowing the truth.

Light exposes dark. Truth.

Many who were listening to Jesus began to believe in Him.

Then Jesus said them, ” If you continue to believe in me and in what I am saying, then you are really my disciples. Soon you will hear more truth, this truth will set you free.”

He was talking about being free from the slavery of sins.

When you learn the truth of the Word, it changes who you are and how you think. You keep your eyes on the path that He sets before you not turning to the left or the right. But looking to His truth.

The truth is worth more than riches, material things or anothers devotion. It gives you a peace that passes all understanding, and it changes how you live.

The truth sets you free from lies.

And that is a gift worth giving.

In Christ Love, Amen
