Am I Telling The Truth?

That very night the believers sent Paul and Silas to Berea. When they arrived there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth. As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men. [Acts 17.10-12]

Am I telling the truth?

How would you know? You would only know the same way the people of Berea did: you would search the Scriptures day after day to see...

The days of "ignorant believers" is drawing to a close. End times are upon us, and only those few who know the Word of God - who know Jesus (because He is the Word) - will effectively navigate the difficult and narrow way of the Kingdom. This is a warning - not from me, but from Jesus:

You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. [Matthew 7.13-14]

It is time for a revival of God's Word in His people. God's Word is Jesus, and Jesus is our life. Jesus' life was death on the Cross, and our lives, in Him, are to meet the same end. But we will never be able to even conceive the cross for ourselves unless we are in Christ (the Word) and He (the Word) is in us. Knowing about Jesus and His Cross will not sustain us - but intimately knowing Jesus, the Living Word of God, will narrow our vision and make our feet sure on the difficult way to God - because He (Jesus, the Word) is the Way! And, His Way is the Cross!

Am I telling the truth? YOU TELL ME! YOU, learn the Word - know the Word - saturate yourself with the Word ...and believe! Really believe! Not just go to church! The Word must take #1 priority in your life because the Word is Jesus!

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! [John 5.39]

Father, may anyone who reads anything I write not be so careless and foolish to believe anything I say except what they know to be the Truth because they know Your Word! So be it!
