What is truth? The dictionary definition is "that which is true or is in accordance with fact or reality." So, the truth is something that is factual or real. I am a man - Truth. I am a wealthy man - not True. Just from that simple example, we can see how easy it is to distinguish Truth.
However, so many people get tripped up trying to find truth. Their problem lies in the "in accordance with fact or reality" section. They will take whatever some people say as fact, when, in fact, the other person is lying, lying, lying. Others have a hard time dealing with reality, so, they take whatever comes as reality - today is horrible, tomorrow is going to be equally bad, etc.
Here's a fact...if you diligently seek truth, you will find it. And, when you find Truth, you will feel something unlike anything you have felt before. The feeling might be disbelief, hurt, anger, frustration, but, it could just as well be release, relief, FREEDOM.
Today's word is from John 8:32, NIV, which read, "Then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free."
There is nothing more freeing than the Truth. JESUS was telling the Jews who had believed Him that if they would continue in His word, they would be His disciples. THEN, you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
You want true freedom? You want to be truly free of burdens and sorrows? You want to be sure that what you believe is true and factual? Continue in GOD'S word. If you'll do that, you will know the Truth, and you will be FREE. There is nothing like true freedom.
Be Blessed,
