Our hope is in Jesus, who is the truth! The truth, who is Jesus, is the most powerful thing in the universe and beyond! We are sanctified by Jesus, who is also the word made flesh! Remember what Jesus prayed in John 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

 

He knew that we would be sanctified through Him and only through Him! That was the plan!

Jesus told us in John 16:13 that when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear from Father God Almighty, that shall He speak: and he will shew us things to come.

There is an enemy of the truth seeking whom he may devour in this world though, the father of lies himself, satan, and all those who follow him who have made a career of deceiving others!

Colossians 2:8 warns us about those who use deception against believers.

It says this:  See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

In these days of great deception that we are living In, evil men and impostors are proceeding from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived according to 2 Timothy 3:131. Timothy 4:1 also says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons!

In Matthew 24:4 Jesus said, take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And further down in Verse 23 Jesus says again, Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

In John 4:23-24 we are reminded that the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. And that’s according to John 1:17

The truth is God’s  powerful reality that sets people free and keeps believers free from the deceptions and seductions of this world! We must be sure to put off every sin and weight so that we are not taken captive by satan to do his will because of his lies and seducing ways that try to lure those who are unwise away from the truth they once knew. We must also continually put on the full armor of God which includes the belt of truth so that no deceptions or lies pull off our garment of praise and our robe of righteousness which we also protect by wielding the shield of faith and taking up the sword of the spirit which is the truth of God’s WORD that we stand on and speak against the enemy in Jesus’ name!

Praise God! The truth will set you free! This is the most powerful thing to remember! John 8:32

And we know that Jesus IS the truth. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6
