“Walking InThe TRUTH”
The Apostle John wrote these words to the faithful disciples of Jesus Christ:
“ I was filled with joy and delight when the brothers arrived and informed me of your faithfulness to the truth. They told me how you live continually in the truth of Christ. It is the greatest joy of my life to hear that my children are consistently living their lives in the ways of truth.” 3 John 1:3,4 (TPT)
Surely, he speaks as an oracle of God for this is the Father’s heart for us, His children: “Walk in The TRUTH.” John sent this letter to his brethren in the early days of the church at a time when false teachers & prophets threatened to destroy & subvert the Word of Truth. This word of exhortation is even more critical today as the father of lies launches his attack of deception. The Word clearly warns of the “great falling away” which is now being manifested as we await the return of The King!
In spite of the gross darkness, the victory lies in The TRUTH! So, I ask you Saints, “What is TRUTH?” As human beings who live in a fallen world, we tend to rely on our natural senses to evaluate & identify what is True. We tend to live our lives contingent upon the determination we have made from the information we have gathered via these senses. However, when we make our transition from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of Light, we exchange our reliance on our natural senses to a dependence upon our supernatural senses in the way of faith. Heb. 11:1 (AMPC) says: “Now faith is the assurance...of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”
This being said...God wants us to make a clear distinction between that which is true and The TRUTH. That which is true is temporal and subject to change. It can be variable and can be altered dependent upon the conditions, the situation, or the circumstances. Therefore, that which is true is conditional, situational, variable and circumstantial. TRUTH on the other hand, is established upon the fidelity of God and on the authority of His Word. Therefore, THE TRUTH is eternal, absolute, immutable and CANNOT BE ALTERED! TRUTH is the ultimate and the highest order because it is of God! THE TRUTH is encapsulated in the Person and the Purpose of Jesus Christ!
He Himself has spoken in John 14:6 TPT “ I AM The Way, I AM The Truth, and I AM The Life.” Even more revelation comes in John 18:37e AMPC as He responds to Pilate before His crucifixion: “Certainly I am a King! This is why I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth, who belongs to the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.” Are we listening Saints?
This month study the way of TRUTH. Take especial note of how TRUTH intersects every tenet of the Faith. Understand the relationship and the correlation between Truth & Life, Truth & Light, Truth & Faith, Truth & Love, Truth & Victory, Truth & Freedom, Truth & Righteousness.
Seek TRUTH, Speak TRUTH, Live TRUTH, Walk in TRUTH!!!
