Truth is an elusive concept. It is treated as a fluid and relative term, catering to the needs of some or the popularity of many. As an abstract idea, the concrete nature of Christ as the embodiment of truth can be difficult to grasp—especially if His truth clashes with my opinion.
But I can’t have both. I must relinquish the right to my opinion in order to embrace truth and accept the abundant life Jesus offers.
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
The father of lies is practiced at distorting truth and distracting us from the unrelenting, merciful truths found in Scripture.
Christ came as Messiah and Savior to free us from the bondage of lies, offering an abundant life filled with faith, hope, and love. 1 Corinthians 13 says that these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But what do faith, hope, and love have to do with truth?
Truth enables my faith to be solid.
Truth allows my hope to be unashamed.
Truth defines love and removes us from the distorted and watered-down versions of it.
A truth-filled abundant life of faith, hope, and love? Sign me up!
Stay tuned this month... In anticipation of the new book to be released later this year, we will explore the concepts of truth and the abundant life. Who Has the Last Word? Cutting through Satan’s Lies with the Truth of God’s Word.
Please join me in prayer for the final stages of the new book and make plans to join us in this study in a small group, starting in 2017.
