Truth

The truth is that God loves us and created us for fellowship. He gave us free will and he gave us the Bible, his written word and will. When we failed to walk in his ways he sent his son as the way of forgiveness.  Jesus  gives us the spirit of truth. Truth is important to me. By  seeking truth we find God.

Jesus speaks to the scribes and Pharisees who accuse him.

John 8:43  Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. 

John 8:44  You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 

John 8:45  But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 

John 8:47  Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

John 8:51  Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” 

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 

To know the truth, we are free. To know to do right and not to do it, this is sin.

James 4:17  So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. 

Father God, give us your strength to walk in truth. In Jesus name, amen.
