GODLY TRUTH

By Rick Mathes

1 Timothy 4:7 (NASB77) ⁷  But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

“What is truth?” Pilate tossed out at Jesus and those with no objective values stumble over the same question. When everything is relative, nothing is truth in the absolute: chaos, insanity. There needs to be a firm basis; such as a 12 inch ruler to measure one foot. Well out Bible is the cannon, yardstick of truth. The Word of God teaches, “Thy Word is truth.” And Jesus stated without equivocation, “I AM the way, the truth and the life.”

We as Godly followers of Jesus have an upward Gospel that soars to the third heaven of truth and beyond. When you have a constant of faith, there isn’t room for speculation. The truth becomes absolute under all circumstances and settles all questions. But this awakening must come from a pure heart, one willing to stand naked in the presence of a Holy God. It’s this clear conscience that gives you a peace you have never known.

Genuine faith can pass every test including martyrdom, dying for truth. All those of faith were effectually called to keep the faith down to their dying last breath. They knew in the early church that they were saed and thi was a truth they built their faith upon. They tok a good pattern or themplet o life and fought the good fight on their knees in fervent prayer, a prayer of thanksgiving.

While you bask in truth, you will experience a peaceful life full of grace and peace that surpasses our limited understanding. There is nothing more exhilarating than honesty. It is an interior cleansing that makes your character sparkle in a brilliance your deceitful only self never even had a clue it existed. When Jesus owns you, He teaches you the truth through the Holy Spirit that loves to give us gifts or righteousness. There certainly is justice for all when we come to the judgment seat of God.

The lusts have left and the fruit of the Holy Spirit begins to ripen around you as you walk blamelessly in god’s truth. So ask yourself, “What is truth?” and recall that Jesus answered, “I AM the truth! No ne comes to the Father but through me.” We that are chosen are exclusive and that’s what separates us from the rest of the world. They are all going to Hell without Jesus!
