In Colossians 1:13-14 and 21-23 Paul speaks about the Word of Truth. When we put these few verses together we find a brief, powerful and effective summary of the Word of Truth, the Gospel that saves.

Scripture is clear, our God is a Jealous God. This may seem difficult to understand, but when one really digs down into the word, its origin and meaning a beautiful picture emerges. Instead of a petty God who feels threatened we find a God who has great passion for His possessions.

The Word of Truth, the Gospel, is the truth of Jesus planted in our hearts…

It’s not a creed, it’s a creation,

It’s not a list, it’s a life,

It gives birth not to dogma, but a dynamic transformed life.

Sharing in the sufferings of Christ results in lives redirected towards the will of a faithful God who guarantees our suffering is momentary and not in vain.
