Tag: What the Bible says about truth

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-21

John 8:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Truth is a funny thing.

It is very powerful, and it can change us immensely if we allow it to.

The problem with truth is that it can also hurt our feelings if we let it.

You see, truth almost always comes to us from others who speak it to us.

As ones who bear truth and speak it to others, it’s important that we do so in a way that’s led by the Spirit of God. We need to have compassion, mercy and grace as part of our delivery. We need to have the heart of God.

And we need not be afraid of saying something that may hurt someone’s feelings when we speak things that God is leading us to say.

On the flip side, if we are hearing truth, we need to be able to listen to it and not get our feelings hurt by what we hear.

Some of the things that we hear others say to us can cause us to want to bristle up and defend ourselves immediately. This isn’t usually a good thing.

We need to learn not to immediately go into defense mode. Instead, we need to go into “receiving mode”, allowing God to show us truth about ourselves, so He can use that truth to mold us and shape us into the man or woman He wants us to be.

This may seem like a minor thing to many people. But it is, in fact, a very major part of our growth as believers. Until we learn to accept Holy Spirit-led truth about ourselves, we will never grow to the full potential of who God wants us to be.

Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) 17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-8-21

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Truth is a funny thing.

Most people will automatically tell you that truth is a good thing if you were to ask them.

When we are confronted with truth that hurts, however, we may not be quite so sure about it being a good thing.

It’s all about perspective.

You see, that’s the funny thing about truth; it can sometimes be painful.

Sometimes it’s painful because it means watching someone we love go through a tough time, or maybe even losing them.

Other times, it means that we have to see something in ourselves that we don’t like so much.

What’s more, seeing it now means that we have to take responsibility for it and make changes if we want to please God and be who He wants us to be.

Truth is more than just looking into a mirror. We can look into a mirror, see ourselves, and still walk away and conveniently forget what we saw.

James 1:23-24 (NKJV) 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

It’s when we look into the mirror and then let the Holy Spirit show us who we really saw in that mirror that we are more inclined to grab the bull by the horns and do something about what we saw.

Thankfully, we serve a merciful God who gives us grace to work through what we see and what He shows us.

And He is faithful to give us what we need to fix those things in us that are broken and in need of repair or correction.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-22-20

Mark 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi’s house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

Tax collectors and sinners were following Jesus. They liked what they heard and what they saw. What did they see and what did they hear?

Truth!

It doesn’t matter who we are. If we are searching for the truth and ready to hear it, God will bring it.

Some don’t want to hear it. They ignore it and push it away. Or they run away from it.

Jesus ate with the “sick”; the sinners and tax collectors. And He loved doing so because they welcomed Him. But the others, the scribes and pharisees, saw it and they questioned why He would do such a thing.

Mark 2:16 (NKJV) 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?”

How is it?

That’s what He came for! That was His purpose. He came for those that needed help, healing and restoration. He came for us all that know we need salvation. And He loves every one of us. We all need His help. Let us not think that we are any better than anyone. We all have our “issues”.

 Mark 2:17 (NKJV) 17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

If we think we are too well for help, then we will lose out on what Jesus can do for us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-11-19

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

There is probably something we all think we need today that we hope will help us in whatever situation we are in, and bring freedom to us. We think it would be the very thing to  make everything better.

If we were to take a survey and ask everyone to name one thing that will help you today, many will say money. Some may say a relationship or a spouse. Others may say having children. Some might want or need healing. And many may say work, a job or a career.

All these things are nice and will probably bring pleasure to our lives. Many will overlook the ONE most important thing that we need to have in order to maintain a life of complete freedom.

We can have all these things in life and still feel empty and enslaved. If we want to be able to enjoy life and all the blessings around us, we need the truth!

We are missing out on a huge part of life if we do not have the truth. What is the truth?

We need to know we are loved, we are forgiven, and we are saved and set free.

How? Through Jesus Christ. He is the Truth that will save us and bring us into freedom.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

If we accept the truth, Jesus Christ, we will live here on this earth in total victory every day. We may face things that are hard, or maybe even horrific, but knowing His truth will give us strength, peace, and understanding that will carry us through any trial we face.

Don’t worry about money, a career, a spouse, children, etc. Get the Truth in us and acknowledge Him and He will direct our steps, bringing everything together in the way that He knows is best.

Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV) 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-21-18

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

One day I was at the hospital visiting an alcoholic patient. The nurse was speaking to the family, explaining that if he didn’t stop his drinking, his life expectancy was, at most, 5 years. He was young.

The thing that caught my attention was not the short life expectancy, but the response of the patient’s parent when they heard it.

They were actually upset with the nurse, wondering how she could say such a terrible thing about their child, even though they knew he had a “problem with it”.

I listened and watched and as I took it all in, I realized that day how we can really harm ourselves by ignoring the truth.

This young man literally drank his life away and was still wanting more, even though he was told he only had 5 years left. What is that?

It is ignoring the truth and buying the lie. Our emotions can open the door to this and cause us to ignore the truth, even though the consequences of what we’re doing may be staring us in the face. It will drive us to an early death, both naturally and spiritually.

What lie are we buying into today just because it makes us feel better about our situation?

God wants to bring healing and deliverance to us, but until we stop buying the lie and we face the truth, His hands are tied.

Lies can give us a false sense of comfort. Truth may come with some pain and it may hurt a bit at first. But in the long run it will bring healing, deliverance, and joy to us for a lifetime.

The truth will set us free if we let it.

Dear God in Heaven,

We cry out to You today for the truth in our situation. Give us eyes to see it and ears to hear it and the strength to follow it. We want to be set free from the bondage that we are in, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-22-17

Matthew 13:15 (NKJV) 15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’

Healing comes when we allow God to open our eyes and ears to hear and see the truth. Is the truth always easy to swallow? No. Sometimes the truth can hurt when it goes down.

But once it’s in us and we let it work deep inside of us, it can bring wonderful changes if we take the steps we need to take.

What condition is our heart in today? Has it grown dull? Is it hard, cold, and angry? How about our ears? Can they still hear that still small voice of God? Or have things we’ve been through these past days, months, or years taken their toll on our walk with God?

How about our eyes? Have we stopped looking and seeking for God’s answers and completely given up all hope, maybe because we are just so tired of it all?

Let down that wall my friend, and let God open the eyes of our heart towards Him once again. He will bring true healing and understanding. Amen.

Feel free to contact us if you need prayer.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-15

John 8:32 (NKJV) 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The truth can be a hard thing to swallow sometimes.

The truth can be hurtful. But the truth will also set us free, if we let it.

Many times we don’t like to hear the truth because it may convict us or require that we make some changes. And this can cause us some discomfort, there’s no doubt about it.

Sometimes the truth will show us who we really are. Other times the truth will show us who others really are.

Either way, the truth can be very eye-opening and very revealing. And when our eyes are opened to the truth, it can be pretty sobering.

But when we embrace the truth, instead of running from it, it will bring freedom to our lives in ways that we could never have imagined.

It might hurt for a while, but our hurt will heal, with God’s help and with time. And when we are healed, we will be free from the lies that we were deceived by for so long.

So embrace the truth today. Run to it. For only the truth can set us free.
