About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHAT IS TRUTH? THE DICTIONARY SAYS "Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be." WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT TRUTH? WE KNOW THAT IT COMES FROM JESUS. "JOHN 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." WE KNOW THAT IT WILL SET YOU FREE. "JOHN 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." WE KNOW THAT IT IS A SPIRIT. "JOHN 15:26 But when the Comforter is com e , whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." WE KNOW THAT JESUS IS THE TRUTH. "JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way , the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." AND WE KNOW THAT THE WORD IS TRUTH. "JOHN 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
NOW, LET'S SEE WHAT THE BIBLE SAY TRUTH IS NOT? FOR ONE, THE DEVIL IS NOT TRUTH. "JOHN 8:44, WHEN JESUS WAS TALKING WITH THE JEWS WHO WERE QUESTIONING HIM ON WHO HE WAS, HE TOLD THEM THAT "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." AND IT SEEMS THAT THE OPPOSITE OF TRUTH IS A LIE AND THAT THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, WHICH WE ALL KNOW.
I BELIEVE THE BEST WAY TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING IS TO CHECK IT OUT IN GOD'S WORD. IF IT LINES UP WITH THE WORD, WE KNOW IT IS TRUTH. ALL THE TRUTHS ABOUT SALVATION, HEALING AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED TO KNOW TO LIVE A PRODUCTIVE AND HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS LIFE IS IN THERE. LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE, IT IS OUR INSTRUCTION BOOK ON LIFE FROM GOD, HIMSELF. NEED HEALING? (1ST PETER 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.) NEED TO PROSPER? (3RD JOHN 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth) HAVE STRESS? (1ST PETER 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.). WANT YOUR NEEDS MET? PHILIPPIANS 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.) IT IT ALL IN THERE AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS READ IT AND BELIEVE IT AND HAVE FAITH TO ACCEPT IT. I AM ACCEPTING ALL OF THIS....HOW ABOUT YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. -
Yes the truth will set you free. And it does say in revelations that he that overcome will the lord give a new name unknown to others to sit with him on his throne. One must stay the course.
I will say you have accepted God word of truth in WHICH IT IS. Amen
Sin when it is finished brings forth death as the bible clearly spells this out. In the event we are born again and can overcome that old sinful and carnal nature then when we walk in the spirit and have faith, and turn from the old man self we are walking with him then this is good & acceptable. We must walk in righteousness and do as he does. But at the same time we have to accept the the final decision is God's. Look at the apostles most gave their lives for the truth and some did not live until a ripe old age. The ultimate decision was God's. If we say we have no sin then the word of God will PROVE us a LIAR. WE MUST WALK THE WALK.
We need to renew our minds and hold captive those wicked, sinful, lustful thoughts for the heart is wicked and who could know it. We have been SO polluted and defiled by a sinful nature and in the things that should be holy unto GOD. We MUST grow in the faith and push away the things of the world that "defile us". There was a reason Christ prayed and fasted. Prayer is communication with GOD. And fasting is to cleanse the body but also denying self to wanting and desiring. But it should be done properly.
