TRUTH OR FALSE?
If I believe something that is false, I will be disappointed. How do I know the thing I believe in is truth or false? If I seek with all my heart, I will find it. If not totally committed to finding the truth, I will fall short of obtaining it. We must seek it with all our heart. While we each are to help one another find truth, everyone is held accountable to ask, seek, knock for ourselves. No one can do it for me, I am held accountable at life’s end.
It is not about religion in and of itself, it never was. It is about taking Jesus Christ as our savior, believing on his name alone that saves us from our sins. One may not believe the truth, but truth remains truth none the less. All other names, all good works, all the religion one may try to obtain have no power in saving anyone from their sins.
One thing this world does not want is the truth, although it claims otherwise. Persecution is taking place all over the world every moment of our lives. People are living and dying to tell the truth so that others too may know “truth”. The statement above offends many. Still, I must witness truth as truth. It does matter what we believe, though some will say “It does not matter anyway”. How can it not, when our eternity is affected by what we believe and live? Therefore, I care if you hear the truth. Jesus said to go out and witness to the ends of the earth. If we love God, how can we sit back and not love our fellow mankind as well? If we love one another, we cannot help but desire to lead others to Jesus Christ.
When serious about something I become involved in it. I cannot sit around watching and waiting for others to get things done. What I can do will vary. I use what the Lord gives me to work with. We each are given abilities and talents to work with. Prayer is powerful, Jesus our example, prayed continuously. A person paralyzed in bed can help as well. They can pray and give verbal encouragement if they are able to talk to others. Even the act of sharing a smile lifts our spirit. How much seemingly “powerless” can one be than a dead person? Yet the dead witnessed, when they were brought back to life, as we read in our bible. No one is without a “gift” to use in spreading the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I would not want or expect anyone to take what another person says to be truth, as truth. That of course includes me, myself, I. I pray that we each continue to find the truth, the whole truth, and nothing less than truth. False beliefs cannot save, Jesus Christ alone saves. And then only if we want Jesus Christ above all else this world has to offer. Truthfully, the world has nothing to offer, except pain and sorrow. Jesus Christ came to this world to live and die that you and I may be saved by believing on his name, repenting of our sins and to live and die for Jesus Christ. Go and ask, seek, and knock. The answer is there for each of us to find. God loves each one of us. It is our sin God hates, not us.
We read in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Now that is the truth, the whole truth! Please, go and ask, seek, and knock.
