Jesus is Truth
I write this article with the belief that the Bible is inspired by God. I believe all of the Bible is true. In the Bible we are told about Jesus coming to earth as the Son of God by the virgin Mary. We are told of his public ministry, his death, burial, resurrection and his ascension into heaven.
Jesus came into the world – the Son of God and the son of man. He taught the truth from the heavenly Father. Jesus said in John 8:32 (NKJV) “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Throughout time people have chosen lies over the truth. Lies do not make people free. Recorded in Genesis chapter 3, Eve believed a lie. God had told her and Adam in Genesis 3:3 “but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ “ The serpent told her “You will not surely die.” She believed the lie. She ate the forbidden fruit and gave it to Adam and he ate it. When they heard the voice of God in the garden they hid from God. Death is a separation and sin separated them from God. Obedience to the truth had kept them in a close relationship with God. Faithful obedience to God will keep you in a close relationship, also.
Jesus referred to himself as the truth in John chapter 14. Jesus always told the truth. If we know the truth we will be free. So we must know Jesus (the truth) to be free. John 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” The Bible is the inspired word of God (truth). When we know Jesus it is through an understanding of the Bible.
God desires that all people, including you, go to heaven and spend eternity with Him. He sent Jesus to be the savior of the world for that very reason. Many people did not believe Jesus while he was living on earth. Many people today do not believe Jesus. He is the truth! Love Jesus! You show your love for him by keeping his commandments. (John 14:15).
You must always tell the truth to your friends and family. Jesus always told the truth. May God bless all of us. May all of us live our lives to bring glory to God.
