FAITH CAPSULE: Jesus is the truth of God, the word of God.
John 8:1-32
To know some truth about truth is rooted in knowing the truth.
Truth is the quality of being true.
Truth is the facts about a situation, a reality.
To know the truth is free, not be in bondage.
Truth does not lie.
Truth is threatening.
Truth can be bitter and not appealing to be accepted.
The truth will always embarrass falsehood.
Truth is challenging but not confusing.
Truth is not popular to gain a place in the company of liars.
Truth is not evil and yet not acceptable by the majority.
The majority cannot stand the truth to accommodate but rather stand with the lie.
Truth is naked, not hard to locate, while lie is covered to deceive and manipulate.
Standing with the lie is accommodating, deception, pacifying the devil, and not being free before God.
Is it your desire to be free?
Why not give to the truth of God as your value?
To be free, let the truth become your value.
Become an advocate for truth as your value that does not hide but stands for ways of life.
Behave your value, the evidence of believing the truth in the ways of life.
In ways of life, be steadfast in the truth by which Christ has made all free.
Living as an advocate of truth is evidence of fear for God, diligently God, putting away the gods of this world.
Remain abiding in the word of God, Keep growing in the truth of God, and live a life free to the glory of God.
Do you know about the truth of living a free life before God?
As an acclaimed believer, do you know the truth?
Thomas spoke on behalf of his brethren, not knowing the way.
John 14:5 records, “Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
Jesus responds to Thomas, “…I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
Jesus is the TRUTH, the way, and the life.
Do you know Him, or do you know about Him?
When Jesus walked through the earth, many thronged Him but did not know Him.
Today, many are claiming His name but do not know Him.
Many acclaimed believers are not free because they do not know the truth.
Are you an unbelieving believer who is not free?
Many THOMASES of today do not know the truth and are not free indeed.
What does it mean to be free indeed?
Jesus declares what it means to be free, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)
One who lives by the word of God as a way of life dwells and abides in the truth of God.
Jesus is the Living WORD of God, the truth of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for the truth of God to become your way of life.
