EMBRACE THE TRUTH

John 14:6 (NKJV) “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Are there many different ways to get to heaven? Is the road to heaven a 6 lane expressway or a narrow path? Jesus own words reveals much to us. Jesus is not only saying here that He is the way, truth and life, but that He is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth and the ONLY life worth embracing. The entirety of scripture points to it.

It refers frequently to the “way of God”. What is the way of God? Truth and life. There is no greater truth then the truth of God.

truth
1. Conformity to fact or actuality.
2. A statement proven to be or accepted as true.
3. Sincerity; integrity.
4. Often Truth is that which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence. (*)

life
1. The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism.
2. The characteristic state or condition of a living organism.
3. The interval of time between birth and death
4. The interval of time between one's birth and the present
5. A particular segment of one's life
6. A spiritual state regarded as a transcending of natural bodily death. (*)

God’s truth is the ultimate truth. If you believe in God, you tend to accept His Word as the truth. Bible believing preachers preach that it is the truth. The Word itself proclaims it is the truth. In a world where the truth is so hard to find at times, it is a comfort to know that in God there is no falsehood. As I have said, He is the one constant in a sea of inconsistency.

A life worth living is a life worth living well. God offers a life full of abundant blessings and all He asks for is complete surrender to His will. Having said that, your own FREE will plays into the equation. You can love and serve God yet still turn to the left or the right and wander off the path He has chosen for you to take. We have that right however, Proverbs is clear regarding our going our own way.

Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV) “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.”

It is amazing how dull witted we can be at times. We go off seeking whatever it is that strikes our fancy never realizing that it is a trap. God has laced the Bible full of warnings and directives to assist us in living a fulfilled life, but for some reason we feel that we know better. We become short sighted and have no idea what the right thing to do is because we have the thing we seek to blind us. We fail to realize that it will kill us in the end.

Proverbs 3:5-7 (NKJV) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil.”

Any analyzation of these verses is for another time, but understand it for what it is: a God given equation for achieving God’s unmerited favor and blessing in your efforts. Do you consult Him regarding His plan for you? There is no other way, truth or life to be found this side of heaven. Embrace it today.
