FAITH CAPSULE: The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.
Revelation 22
The Bible records: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Who or what is it about the truth?
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
Truth is the way to live life for arrival to the divine assignment of God.
It is good to know the truth engaging the truth at all times.
Give self to the truth as a way of life, knowing that truth is hardly acceptable.
In this wicked world of lies, the disciples of today tell lies and are so far from God, not living by the truth of God.
Truth is not for twisting, not accommodating lies to be added or subtracted by the wicked world of evil.
By your word or by your action, are you adding or taking away from the word of God?
Revelation 22:18-19 warns, “For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Twisting the word of God is adding or taking away from the word of God.
Twisting the truth of God is telling lies in the place of telling the truth.
Deuteronomy 19:19 buttress, “…so you shall put away the evil from among you.”
Truth is easy to ignore, it is not on the broad lane that the majority takes to in the life journey.
The world hangs on deception and manipulation.
In life, not knowing the truth is the same as twisting the truth.
Do you know the truth, or do you know about it?
The majority are not free because they do not know or only know about the truth.
John 14:6 records, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth…”
Many claim to know and do things in His name, but it is not evidence of knowing Him.
Once Jesus responds to acclaiming of His name, “But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you are saying.” (Matthew 26:70)
Have you been doing things in His name, assuming you know Him but only know about Him?
The love for Jesus should not be of the mouth.
The word of God speaks to all, “But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.” (John 5:42)
To know the truth of God is to love Him by way of living before Him.
Prayer for today: Ask to live life by the truth of God.
