God's Truth is the Only Truth

Verse of the day: John 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

What is truth? In today's society, everyone has their own "truth". Whatever is "truth" in their own eyes is "truth". The measure of it is whatever they feel or whatever their motivation. The truth of the world is gray. Therefore, in any given situation whatever your "truth" may be will not necessarily be my truth, and if someone disagrees with that, then they are usually labeled as being narrow minded. Well, the true measure of truth is God, and God alone. The world will push back, and say that this is extremely narrow minded. Nonetheless, it is God's truth that makes us aware of sin. It is His truth that convicts us, and makes us aware that we need Jesus, our Savior. It is truth, God's truth, that purifies us, and sets us apart for God's service. Where do we find this truth? It is God's Word. Every principle, and every command, is God's truth. When we live according to that truth we will live in opposition to the world. The temptation will be, for many, to bend the truth or twist it a bit in order to fit in or avoid offending others (family, friends, co-workers). However, this truth is what sets us aparts, separates us, prepares, and qualifies us, to serve God. Let us not forget that it is Satan who bends the truth of the Word of God for his own purposes. We are to allow God to use His truth to make us more like Jesus, in a world influenced by devils. The bottom line is that we are not to compromise the truth, regardless of what it may cost us, because the truth is what sets us free, makes us more like Jesus, equips us to serve Him, and in the end will be what prevails.
