The Truth Will Set You Free

We Are What We Believe

If your teacher keeps telling you that math is hard and you are dumb, would you keep trying to learn it?

If your mother reminds you again and again that you are a Plain Jane, would you compete in a beauty contest?

If the scientist tells you that you are made of random bits of dust, how do you consider your importance to the universe? But what if the God of the Universe told you that you were “fearfully and wonderfully made?”

What we know to be true (even when it’s not true) will dictate the direction of our lives. So it matters what we believe and how we think.

The Truth is Out There

The good news is that truth is available to us. Even better, the truth might be hard to hear, but it is beautiful and empowering.

The bad news is that we have lies all around us. They are intentional and they are designed to destroy us. From the con artist who wants our money, to the politician that wants more power, all lies are designed to push us down so someone else can gain.

You Can Find Truth, If You Are Willing to Believe It

So where do we find truth? God has been speaking the truth into our world since the creation. He demonstrates truth in the earth he created. He details it explicitly in his written word. And then He sent Jesus to walk among us and live a life of truth.

Even now, God speaks truth. His Spirit flows around us and in us, teaching us, if we are willing to listen.

And that is the bottom line. God the Father will not force His Truth on you, any more than He forces His love on you. You choose to receive it by seeking it.

How do we do that? We ask Him questions and seek His answers. Who is He? What does He want? Why did He create us?
