TOPIC: “BORN OF THE TRUTH (God’s Word Is Truth) “

Scripture; John 17:17 CEV 

“Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours.”

MESSAGE

As God’s children, we’re born of His truth; thus, we’re children of truth. We live in and by truth. We’re located by truth and receive truth. But the children of the world feed on lies and therefore live a lie. It brings to mind the words of Jesus to the Jews who wouldn’t hear and receive His Word.

He said, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me” (John 8:43-45). They couldn’t hear and receive His truth because they didn’t belong to Him; they weren’t children of truth.

Anyone who is of the truth will hear His voice. How can someone be of the truth? It’s by believing the truth, by receiving truth. How can you know truth? God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and it distinguishes itself. You’ll know truth when it comes to your spirit. God’s truth produces faith in you; it produces the love of God in your heart.

His truth fills you with hope and brings liberty to your spirit. It’ll also give you direction because the Word of God is light. Psalm 119:105 tells us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Hallelujah!

SPEAK

Blessed Lord, I’m so grateful that I’m born of your Word, your truth; therefore, I walk in truth; I’m led and guided in and by truth. Your truth blesses, promotes, uplifts and causes me to grow spiritually. Your truth produces in me faith, hope and love by which I triumph gloriously in life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
