YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH…

Jesus said in John 8:32, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” Freedom is something all humans hold dear. The old saying, “Freedom isn’t free” holds true in every instance. Anything worth having is worth the effort it takes to obtain it. Such is the case with the freedom Jesus offers.

Freedom requires knowledge of the truth. Truth is summed up in John 17:17, “Thy word is truth.” The pages of inspiration make up the necessary knowledge for one’s freedom. Knowledge of the truth is something you must acquire, and it takes effort. In learning any-thing one must study and practice in order to obtain the proper knowledge and experience. Paul told Timothy to “study to show yourself approved.” To gain the knowledge of Christ that makes one free takes dedication, effort and diligence.

Freedom is the end result of that effort; freedom from the tyran-ny of Satan and from the results of sin. Sin cannot enter heaven and if it does not enter heaven the only alternative is hell. Unless you are of sufficient knowledge of the word of God you will not ob-tain the freedom from Satan’s hell.

Truth is God’s ticket out of sin and its terrible end. It’s ain’t cheap. The price was already paid by Jesus on the cross. But the work is not done. You must pick up your Bible and read it. Learn the truth of our Lord and make it the GPS for your life. Want to be set free? Pick up your Bible and get to work.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Winner or Loser?

When a loser makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn't my fault.” When a winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong.”

A loser says, “I’m not as bad as a lot of other people.” A winner says, “I’m not as good as I ought to be.”

A loser says, “It may be possible, but it’s too difficult.” A winner says, “It may be difficult, but it’s possible.”

A loser tries to tear down those who are superior to him. A winner learns from those who are superior to him.

A loser makes promises. A winner makes commitments.

Are you a winner or loser when it comes to Christianity?
