DO THE TRUTH

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”Philippians ‭4:8‬ ‭ASV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The book of Philippians was addressed by Paul to the Philippians and the scripture above was an admonition on what they should think on. Our life grows as a result of what we fill our minds with and when you fill your mind with the Truth, you can never go wrong. What then is the Truth? The Bible says in John 17:17 - Sanctify them by the Truth; Your word is Truth. The Truth is God's Holy Word. Truth is realty, it is the quality used to describe the words and utterances of God. This is the self expression of who God is, because God Himself is True. Truth is therefore the fundamental characteristics of God and His Words.

Jesus described Himself as the Truth, the only way to the Father, so the only way we can get to the Father is by accepting Him (The Truth). How then can we claim that we have and love the Truth? Firstly we must know Him, “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;” (1 John ‭2:4‬). It’s not just enough to know the truth, you must also "do" the Truth. Doing the Truth is as important as loving the Truth.

Be determined to express love for the truth by doing what the Word says. The Word says you are victorious, therefore live victorious; it says you are healed, live as the healed; it says you are blessed, a conqueror free from sin and death, live exactly the way the Word says you are, Glory to God.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
