The Whole Truth
So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” — John 31-32
How many times have I heard verse 32 quoted, “and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free”. How quick we are to cling and quote the promises of God and miss the warnings.
Don’t get me wrong I love verse 32 because it is God’s Word and it is a verse of hope. But . . . God’s Word is only effective to those who hear, respond and obey. To those who seek Him continually through His Word.
How many of you “saved” Christians — done the prayer thing, went forward at church, were baptized — open the Word of God, study it and obey it? If we are going to accept the truth of God’s promises, we need to accept the whole truth.
Are you a disciple of Christ?

Living
so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. — 1 Peter 4:2
May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? — Romans 6:2
When I think on the sacrifice, the love, the free gift of Christ for me, I am grateful. So grateful that I desire to live the rest of my life in the flesh for the will of God.
Help me, Lord, to appreciate your sacrifice, love and salvation by remembering that through You I am dead to sin. Make my desire be to serve You and bring glory to Your name.

Bowed Low
Then the man bowed low and worshiped the Lord. — Genesis 24:26
With a humble countenance, grateful heart and awe.
Hope your worship of our Lord God today will be the same.

As For God
“As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the Lord is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. — 2 Samuel 22:31
How comforting. God is faithful and trustworthy.

Love
Do you have someone(s) in your life that you love with all your heart?
Is that someone(s) you never talk to? never make sacrifices to please? never get together with just to hang out? never call? never help in time of need? Basically ignore?
and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ — Mark 12:30
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually. — Psalm 105:4
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. — 2 Corinthians 5:9

Matthew 7:21 (The Sinner’s Prayer)
Crucial message for every professing Christian.
Narrow Gate/ Wide Gate Addendum
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. — Matthew 7:13-14
When the realization sinks in that billions are headed to eternal destruction, what is your response? As Jesus wept over Jerusalem, should we not have compassion as He did?
Is your faith serious enough to face opposition and/or persecution for the sake of billions? How about those in your family? Your friends? This is serious. Are we taking the Words of our God seriously? Do we care as He cares?

Narrow Gate/Wide Gate
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. — Matthew 7:13-14
The realization of Jesus’ words here really hit home for me last night at Small Group Bible Study. “How Can I Know” by Robert Jeffress.
The way is broad that leads to destruction. And there are MANY who enter through it. Statistics say there are seven billion people in the world. Of those seven billion 25% are classified as Christians. That means there are literally billions of people headed to Hell. And of those 25% classified to be Christians, how many really are?
God Himself says many are headed to destruction. There are only two destinations for all mankind. Only one narrow path to God and that is through Jesus Christ and Him alone. What gate are you headed to? Your eternal life depends upon it.

Repay?
See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. — 1 Thessalonians 5:15
Now there’s a novel idea. Don’t seek evil but good. Think of others and their best interest. Hmmm. . .
