The Devil is all about division. Especially in the church. One of his main goals is to rip apart the body of Christ. How does he do this? Through lies. He wants us to believe “our truth” and hold our opinions and preferences above everything else. Reality is there is no such things as “your truth”. Truth is objective and therefore lives outside of you. Truth is God’s view on any subject. Truth unifies and frees, while lies divide and enslave.

Before going to the cross Jesus prays in the Garden of Gethsemane for his disciples and for all future believers. In this prayer he prays that we would be “one”. More so, he prays that we would be one in the same way that he and the Father are one. Unity is a big deal to Jesus. Unity is not person driven, but purpose driven. Unity is found in truth. Truth unites.

A house divided will not stand. The irony of unity and peace is that we have to fight for it. In this series, we’ve learned truth unites. What are the family values in your house that everyone unites around? It is right, good and Biblical to regularly discuss what it means to be part of your family.

God will supply our daily needs. Can you trust Him for today? He does not promise that he will provide all of our greeds, but He does promise to supply all of our needs.

Evil has no claim on the children of God. We need not fear the powers of darkness. It has no control over us. In the end, we win.

There is purpose in hard times. Suffering has a place in the Christian life. When Jesus prayed, “your will be done” it involved suffering, but it also fulfilled God’s purposes

Jesus changes everything. In Him, God Almighty is our Abba. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Trusters of Jesus are never alone.

We would be hopeless in our sin without Jesus. He is our hope because he paid it all. Christianity rests on the truth that we have a Savior. We have been set free from our sin.

When the storms of life toss us about, we have an anchor for our souls. The promise of Jesus and the truth of who God anchors us. He is unchanging. He cannot lie. Our hope in His promises remain.
