It Was Found In My Heart

Scripture References:

John 6:22-66; Improper communion
1 Tim 1:13; Done in ignorance
Luke 23:34; know not what we do

We should expect to have conflict with the world, but sometimes, being a bearer of God's truth, our unlikely oppositions can often be those we should least expect. Those who are wrapped in the religion of God and not the relationship with God.

But no matter who it is, we must speak the truth, stay in the truth no who or what opposes the truth!

Remember a lie will always need a crutch to stand, but the truth can stand all by itself.

A Preacher trying to kill the truth, and then lie about it...crazy right?
Not living up to the truth that they are suppose represent.

See why it's important for us to know the truth for ourselves and why it's necessary for us to allow the Spirit to open our eyes to see the spiritual with the natural.

Search the scriptures and allow the Spirit to teach you all things and guide you into all truth. John 14:26, 16:13

Scripture Ref:

Should we judge or shouldn't we judge? If so, what should we judge?

Judging has become a no-no, and in some ways, it has made some Christians uncomfortable about telling the truth because they will be labeled as being judgmental.

How do we help each other if we can't say anything about the sin in our lives?

Learn what Jesus says about judging righteously.

How do we know if someone is telling the truth?

First, if you know the truth then you will know if they are telling the truth. Also, in vs 17 Jesus explains what to look for when someone is proclaiming the truth.

~ A lie will always need crutches to stand upon, but the truth will always stand on its own.~


 Scripture Ref.

John 7:17-24a
 

How valuable are the souls of people to God?

If God desires that none should perish, that He would send His only begotten Son, dressed in flesh, to save our swimming in darkness souls, surely, souls are very valuable to Him. But souls are also valuable to Satan!

That's why Jesus came to save! To snatch us from the power of darkness so that we may experience His marvelous Light!

The book of John shows us how much God and Christ loves us by how He goes to the extreme for us. But He also gives us an example a blueprint of how extreme we should be for the souls He deeply loves... no matter who they are or how much they reject Him.

Our success depends on how much we see ourselves and keep ourselves abiding in Him...At All Cost!

Have you ever had family members who didn’t believe in you or maybe they wanted you to do things that you didn't want to do?  How would you respond to finding out that people were planning to do harm to you? What about people hating you just because you tell the truth?  Do you think you are strong enough to carry such a weight?
 
To say yes to Christ means more than just receiving salvation. There is a price to follow Him, a weight of bearing Truth.  In these opening verses in John 7, we will see what it takes to be a Truth Bearer.
