John 8:32 " And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free".
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life", yet many struggle with what is the truth, and sharing the truth. There are time when even in the house of God the truth is struggled with and not welcome for fear of running people out of the church, or hurting feelings or even worst, crippling the collection plate. But it is only by the truth that man can be saved, and we who have been called by God must not only be willing to stand on the truth , but we must also be willing to share the truth even if it hurts feelings, to save a lost world.
Here we have Jesus teaching the truth of Gods word, and like today he was met with opposition. We must be careful not to disregard something as being the truth, just because it goes against what we want or our personal beliefs, lifestyle and/or agendas. There is so much being taught in the house of God that is not the truth of Gods word, and yet we sit quietly by and let it be taught.The word of God didn't change because the world changed. If it was a sin in Abrahams day it is a sin today. The bible tells me "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever", and since Jesus is the word of God made flesh I have to believe he hasn't changed. It is the truth of Gods word that makes us free from the lies and deception of the enemy. It is the truth of Gods word that makes us free of sin and the guilt of sin. His truth gives us the power to live a victorious life.
Jesus taught that when you believe the word of God you know the truth, and it is in this truth that we are made free. The truth is man was destined for hell, when God sent His only begotten son to die on a cross for the sin of the world. The truth is only those who believe this truth and receives in their heart, Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior will be saved. The truth is God doesn't want our best, for His word says at our best we are but a filthy rag. What God wants is our all. When we give Him our heart He will give us eternal life. The truth is, as it was in the days of Noah, all who are not in the ark of safety when Jesus comes back will perish. So let us live in the truth of Gods word and be free from the wiles of the evil one..
