IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN
Brother James, OIC
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Truth is not a matter of perspective nor opinion. It has nothing to do with circumstances nor the white lies running rampant in todays society. It does have to do with Gods Word and receiving it in spiritual understanding. This can only be done in those who are called and who go on to make their call and election sure, who have a love of the Truth. But the fact is many don't and many more are victims of trusting what they are taught in Church. I want you to know it is your responsibility to study and seek Gods understanding and receive repentance to the acknowledgement of the Truth.
If the Truth Be Known it sets you at liberty. A new freedom in which you are empowered to choose to become a son or daughter of God. Jesus had many things to say about Truth.
Many claim to know God but they don't really know Jesus. They know a Jesus but not one known only in Truth. Many are stuck in this Hell bound condition. One lady I know whom I was deceived by in reality I realized she knew nothing of Truth. She is stuck in a dead religious mode believing she knows God and Jesus. If you don't know Truth you don't know Jesus. Jesus is the embodiment of Truth a condition we reach when we are transformed by the renewing of our minds through Truth. And until you know Him in Truth you will not have Him nor the Father:
Joh 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Many who are stuck in the dead religious mode be it their own goodness, lack of knowledge or self righteousness or caught up in false doctrines are not bearing good fruit in their own lives nor others and are crucifying the Son of God afresh with their lies. Many hear the Gospel and are called yet they never go to make their call call and election sure.
Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Joh 8:40-42 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Many say they know God but yet they serve the devil. Oh in the worlds eyes they are good people, some are successful and they do a lot of religious works but they are dead.
If Truth Be Known then the first thing given is a real choice to use Truth to grow you until you become a Son or Daughter of God.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Then if you continue in the Word there is freedom:
Joh 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
The Truth makes you reborn into a New Creation:
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
During this process it cleans you out of the junk the world, the sin and the dead church has hurt you with.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Truth sets you apart from the world.
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
I desire Truth because it causes me to agree with God, recognize my sin and walk in His Power where there is Light in this lost and dying world.
