What is Truth?

John 18 : 37 – 38, Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" -NKJV

Have you taken time to ask yourself, “Where did I originate?” Every human understands that they are the offspring of their parents, but where did our soul/consciousness originate? According to Psalm 139 and Jeremiah 1, God knew us before our bodies were formed within the womb.  

There are many people in the world who believe that life simply came into existence without the aid of a Creator. Think about that theory for a moment. Man can make anything they can imagine, but we can’t create life. We can’t create animals. We can’t create plant-life. Men can only plant seeds. It is God who causes the seeds to produce living things. Since we can’t produce life, but can only plant seeds that produce, we must realize that we came from the Giver of life, God!

Life on the earth is exactly the way God intended it to be from the genesis of creation. Before God breathed life into man’s nostrils, he was nothing more than compressed dust.

Even though I have written these statements to establish that creation is a fact and evolution is a theory, many will choose to disregard them. Just as God is the Originator of life and living things, He is also the Originator of Truth.  

When Jesus was brought before Pilate to be judged and condemned, Pilate asked Jesus what truth was. If you read the entire chapter, you will notice that Jesus didn’t take the time to explain Truth to him. If someone doesn’t recognize or receive the truth when it is spoken, they won’t be willing to accept the explanation of Truth when it is given.  

Do you believe the Bible is God’s absolute Truth given to mankind? If you’re not absolutely certain that it is Truth, ask the Lord to reveal His Truth to you. There’s a reason why some do not recognize Truth when it is given to them. God’s Word is Spiritual, and no one can grasp Truth with human logic or thought. When God speaks to humans by His Spirit, His Word bypasses our mind and deals directly with our heart.

Since God’s Word speaks to our heart, we must be willing to exercise faith in God so that we are able to comprehend Truth. If you struggle to believe that the Bible is God’s Truth, consider using your faith to believe that God is real. If you will place your faith and trust in God, He will give you spiritual understanding to receive His Truth. You then will know Truth without any doubt.

God invites us in Psalm 34 : 8 to taste and see that the Lord is good. If you’ve never tasted of an orange, you can’t possibly comprehend what it is like. The best way to know that God is real, and His Word is Truth is to experience Him with your heart. Go ahead, give God a try!

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. NKJV The validity of the entire Bible rests upon one event... the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Paul uses different terminology; nevertheless, the sentiment is the same. If Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty, and our faith is also empty (or in vain.) Let's take this discussion to a deeper level. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead proved that He

A Rightful Heir

Roman 8 : 14 – 17, For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs -- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. NKJV The Word of God declares that the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen. Do you have a need in your life? Have you sought the Lord for a while to have that particular need supplied? The Holy Spirit has given me a specific word to share with you today that you might have faith in your heart to receive your long awaited miracle or breakthrough. As human beings, who are recovering from the fall of man and learning how to live and operate in our new identity, we sometimes struggle with our faith when it pertains to us personall

Caught Up in the Moment

Romans 12 : 1 – 2, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. - NKJV Luke 10 : 40 – 42, But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her." - NKJV There’s nothing like watching children play with their new toys on Christmas morning. The excitement level in our sons would increase as the moment to open the gifts drew closer. Finally, the moment arrived, and the
