"Lies and the Truth"

“Lies and the Truth”

 

I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth.        1 John 2:21

 

In today’s world, there are MANY people whose lives are consumed with so MANY lies that it is difficult, if not impossible to tell whether they KNOW what the TRUTH really is.  They are actually living out their life on nothing but LIES.  Children, at a very young age, are coached by their own parents to tell LIES.  Spouses LIE to each other, Children LIE to their parents, and their siblings, and employers to their employees, and the employee to their employer.  But the worst part of living a LIE, is when people LIE to themselves, deceiving themselves, and worst yet is when they LIE to God, who KNOWS ALL things, He can’t be fooled.  He KNOWS!!

 

John was writing to TRUE BELIEVERS, warning them about the teachings of FALSE TEACHERS. John wanted them to KNOW the fact that NO LIE COMES FROM THE TRUTH.  The LIAR is the one who DENIES that Jesus is the MESSIAH, and even those who DENY the very existence of the FATHER (God) and His Son (Jesus).  There are MANY who DOUBT the EXISTENCE of the Holy Trinity.  They prefer to BELIEVE a LIE, rather than to ACKNOWLEDGE the TRUTH.

 

This DENIAL will seal their FATE.  Jesus said:  “I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life.  NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me.”  Which means that HE is the ONLY WAY to obtain an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, and that is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH.  Without it, you are DOOMED to spend ALL of ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE.  Are you living a LIE?  Do you KNOW the TRUTH? 

 

You do NOW, which means if you continue to REJECT and DENY Jesus Christ, you are WITHOUT an EXCUSE, and will spend ALL ETERNITY in HELL.  But God wants you to KNOW the TRUTH.  So He is giving you the OPPORTUNITY NOW to change your DESTINY.  You MUST TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU, and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS. Then ACCEPT His gift of SALVATION, and KNOW and BELIEVE the TRUTH, It will set you FREE, and give you an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
