“Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness — in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, … .”- Titus 1:1-2
God is the essence of truth; however, we can say that all day long and it doesn’t necessarily make it so. As the old saying goes, “the proof is in the tasting”. First, we must have an open mind, heart and spirit to receive from the Lord. Then we must consider His word for what it is, or at least what it says it is. The Bible refers to itself as the “word of God” 39 times in Today’s New International Version. The most important thing, though, is that we must release our faith. We must believe in a deity that cannot be see with the human eye. Once we allow the Spirit of God to minister to our spirit, we will begin to see, feel and sense that God IS who He says He is; that He IS the truth and that there is no falsehood in Him. It’s definitely a faith and trust issue.
Any other means by which people attempt to achieve eternal life shall vanish right in front of them. As Christians, our one true hope for eternity is wrapped up in a promise from the God called Jehovah. We trust Him because He has never given us a reason to NOT trust Him. The more we know about Him, the closer our relationship with Him will be. As we mature in our spiritual walk with God, we will realize that He has not, will not and could not lie to us. The Lord is the only constant in a sea of inconsistency. He is our only totally reliable source of hope in this lost and dying world. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
