FAITH CAPSULE: The place of no truth is the place of lies.

John 8:31-47

The word of Jesus about truth to those who believed Him also speaks to all with no exception. John 8:31-32 records, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  
The word of God is truth.
Do you know God or know about God?
Knowing about is not the same as knowing the truth.
Knowing the truth builds a believer not to be a liar, deceiver, and manipulator. 
Knowing the truth is the evidence of knowing to fear God and turns one to live free for God. 
A believer that dwells and abides in the truth (word) of God is positioned not to drift away from God. Believers that are drifting away from the word of God are neglecting great salvation. The book of Hebrews 2:1 admonished us, “…we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.” To live life as a believer that is true and not live as a liar, must give the more earnest heed to the things heard in the word of God.
Are you living life as a true believer? 
In truth, are you fellowshipping with one heart, one soul that builds up all things in common in the fellowship?
Are you not violating the spirit of God and great grace upon your gathering?
The word of God repeatedly admonishes all to be a true believer stating, “…give the more earnest heed to the things heard in the word of God”.
The word of God demands from all to, “…give the more…” Asking all to give the more is additional hearing and hearing by in the Word of God. Giving self to the word is not casual attention but demands earnest engagement to become a true believer.
To be a true believer is not in the noisemaking of the word, not efficiently or inefficiently quoting bible verses. Also, it is not only attending fellowship or holding a position in the fellowship gathering. 
Also, to be exposed to bible teaching and not be imparted by the word is the evidence of not giving earnest heed to the word of God.
Today believers are busy for the world more than giving more earnest heed to the word of God. 
When a believer gives less to the word of God, the world will occupy more of the believer. 
You can be a liar to deceive and manipulate others, but God cannot be lied to or deceived because He sees all.
Today, know that the truth (word) of God is steadfast and unfaltering as a source of salvation. 
Give more earnest heed to the word of God to allow the truth of God to take over in your life. Proverbs 12:22 said it all, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truthfully are His delight.”
Be a believer that is full of the truth of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that God empower you to be a true believer.
