Hello Everyone,
Jesus said, as we hold to His teachings, we will know the truth.
God’s Word is truth (John 17:17). God’s Word is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). The Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:13). Therefore, the Spirit uses God’s Word to reveal God’s truth to us.But what is God’s truth? The right question would be, “Who is God’s truth?” God’s truth is a person - Jesus Christ.“Jesus told him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’” - John 14:6 (NLT) Through the Spirit, revealing more of Christ to me through God’s Word, I know the truth. But it isn’t enough to know the truth; I must adjust my life to the truth.
I must adjust my life to Jesus Christ.Paul tells us in Galatians 5:25, that as a Christian, I “live by the Spirit.” in other words, my life has the Spirit as its source, not the world.
I am to learn to live on a spiritual plane, not simply an earthly plane. I must develop a spiritual perspective, not simply an earthly one.That is why Paul tells us in Galatians 5:25 that I must “keep in step with the Spirit.”And what are the steps that the Spirit wants us to walk in?“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” Ephesians 2:10 (Amplified)“He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” - 1 John 2:6 (NKJV)
How am I to walk as Jesus walked? By adjusting my life to what Gods Word says is true about me “in Christ.”
Oh How HE Loves Us!
