Morning Devotional December 28, 2015


John 8:31-32


“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

 

The truth shall make us free. What glorious words from our Lord and Savior. Yet how many of us are enslaved to the false teachings of this world? Or to the false prophets who are deceiving many into thinking they have the truth but speak only lies continually?

Jesus told us “ye shall know the truth”. But how? How do we know the truth? How do we make sure that or doctrines and beliefs are truth? Simply by studying His Word. Constantly comparing what we hear and what we see to what the Word of God says. And not just taking a verse here or there but considering the whole counsel of God. Studying His Word daily as the Bereans did. Study and pray, asking God to show us His truth.

How does the truth of God's Word make us free? If we believe on the truth of God's Word we will be able to resist the devil and his minions and his false teachers and be free from the doctrines of devils. Yet so many times we follow a man or a man's teachings and refuse to study God's Word, the final authority on all things, and see the truth.

Are we His “disciples indeed”? If not, then why not? He tells us His commandments are not grievous. I John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

 But so many times we act like it is such a struggle to keep His commandments or we say that because we are under grace we have no need to follow His commandments. But what did God say? He said “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments”.

Do you love Him enough to keep His commandments? Are you one of His disciples indeed? Are you following our Lord and Savior or following after the sin and lust of this world and satan? What is the truth in your life? Are you a child of God or a child of the devil?

There is no gray area with the things of God. There is only black and white. Evil and good. Heaven and hell. Christ or antichrist. O if you are an unsaved sinner today my prayer for you is that the Holy Spirit will come and convict you of your sins and save your hell bond soul and cause you to seek the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only way. He is the truth and the life. No man can come to the Father except by Him. If He is calling you today, then come to the fountain of water that will never leave you thirsty. Follow after the truth of His Word.

O Christian, if you are following after false doctrine and false prophets today, seek the face of our loving Savior and Lord. Come to the truth of His Word. Study to shew thyself approved unto God. Show your love of our Heavenly Father by following Him in word and deed. Run from the lies and the lust of this world and her god satan.

 

Praise ye the Lord!!!
