KNOWLEDGES OF THE TRUTH“ Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledges of truth “ ( 1 Tim 2: 4 ). God wants not only to be saved for all men but to know the truth. Without truth, Christian life should not be stand firmly, Christian life is the victorious life, “ If you know the truth, the truth will set you free “ ( John 8: 32 ). The truth is in Christ Jesus, “ I am the way, the truth and the life ‘ ( John 14; 6 ). Jesus Christ is not only the truth but also He is the Word ( John 17: 17 ). Christian life is the powerful life based upon Jesus Christ sacrificed His life on the cross for all men. The sequences of understanding , JESUS, who took away all of your sins , purchased by His BLOOD, on the power of CROSS, knowing this TRUTH, and TRUST in Him what He had done, you will have the POWER, which is the basic foundation of Christian UNITY in Christ. In the bible, the number seven is the complete, successful , victorious events number. If you look these basic seven words of Christian life and work accordingly , you will be the witness of Christ forever. ( Mark 16: 15 ) with holding five fingers of words to be completed.( 1 ) Truth never changes “ Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed” ( Prov 12; 19 ). Truth is always timely, it applies today and in the future because it is connected with God’s changeless character. Consider the countless hours that have been spent in careful study of every sentence of scripture. The bible has withstood the test of time, because God is truth, you can trust His word to guide you. ( 2 ) Truth gains strength under pressure. “ If mortals die, can they live again? This thought would give me hope, and through my struggle I would eagerly wait for release “ ( Job 14; 14 ). Job’s profound speech illustrates a great truth; to have a right set of doctrines is not enough. To know what to believe is not all that is required to please God. Truth untested by life’s experiences may become static and stagnant. Suffering can bring a dynamic quality to life. Just as drought drives the roots of a tree deeper to find water, so suffering can drive us beyond superficial acceptance of truth to dependence on God for hope and life. ( 3 ) Truth is not nullified by compromise or wrongdoing. “ Pilate anxious to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead tipped whip, then turn Him over to the Romans soldiers to crucify Him “ ( Mark 15: 15 ). Although Jesus was innocent according to Romans law, Pilate ordered Him to crucify, because of the political pressure , but Jesus abandoned what He knew was right. Pilate gave the decision that would please him everyone while keeping himself safe. When we lay aside God’s clear statements of right and wrong and make decisions based on the preferences of others, we fall into compromises and lawless. God promise to honor those who do right, not those who make everyone happy. ( 4 ) Truth matches the teaching of Jesus Christ who is truth. “ This is My Son, My chosen one, listen to Him “ ( Luke 9: 35 ). As God’s Son, Jesus has the power and authority, thus His words should be our final authority. If a person teaching is true, it will agree with Jesus’ teaching. Test every thing hear against Jesus’ word and you will not be led astray. Don’t be hasty to seek advice and guidance from merely human sources and thereby neglect Christ’s message. ( 5 ) Truth sets us free. “ If you know the truth , the truth will sets us free “ ( John 8: 32 ).Jesus is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. He frees us from the consequences of sin, from self deception , and from deception by Satan. He shows us the clear way to eternal life with God. Thus Jesus does not give us freedom to do what we want, but to follow God. As we seek to serve God, Jesus’ perfect truth frees us to be all that God meant us to be. ( 6 ) Truth challenges us to submit to its demands. “ I am the way, the truth and the life “ ( John 14; 6 ). Jesus said He is the only way to go to the Father and the way is too narrow, but in reality it is wide for the whole world, if the world chooses to accept it. Instead of worrying about how limited it sounds to have only one way, we should be saying. The great mercy of God providing a sure way to get to heaven. ( 7 ) Truth is found in the person of Jesus. “ Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth “ ( John 17: 17 ). Jesus is God, He is the Word, before creation of the world He is. Let examine our heart, what we have, the property of the world or Jesus Christ. The white throne judgment based upon your property in your heart, if you have Christ Jesus in your heart you will be righteousness before God . Jesus Christ in your heart will guide you by knowing the truth to walk according to the will of God and holy life . “ If you know the truth, the truth will set us free “ not to be burden in the Satan world, but victorious successful life by the power of God who will lead you forever.
