TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE

1 John 5:20

And we know that The Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is True: and we are in Him who is True--in His Son Jesus Christ. He is The TRUE God and Eternal Life.

John 14:6

Jesus answered, “I am The Way and The TRUTH and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me."

    In Christ is eternal life and when we are in Christ, Eternal Life is in us.

2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, Who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah 10:10

But the LORD is the True God; He is The living God and Eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.

    When I invited Jesus into my heart and gave Him, surrendered to Him, control of my life, Jesus came to live in my heart. And when that happened, I began to live in Him. Under my own power this just isn't possible. But under the leading of God's Holy Spirit, as I follow Him, He will mold me and make me over into the person God wants me to be.

    As the potter works on the clay on the wheel, so God works on His people, the people who have called on His Name for our salvation. Being Truth, why would we follow people who lie to us? We wouldn't, and must not, listen to words that speak against The TRUE God. There is only one WORD of God, one JESUS CHRIST, one ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD, one TRUTH.

    This is a daily walk, a day to day living out our faith in Jesus Christ. Forgiving (others) daily and being forgiven (by God) daily. Seeking to spend time with God daily: from early in the morning to when we fall asleep. Do we stop speaking to our spouses after we get married? No, that would be foolish. God expects us to spend time with Him and we should enjoy doing so. He is, after all, The TRUE GOD and we want to hear The Truth being spoken to our ears and our hearts.

    Let us come into His presence with joy, with praise, with great expectations, with a desire to please God and not ourselves. Let us be filled with His Truth as we hear the ministers preach The WORD. Let us be filled with His Truth as we read our Bibles and study His WORD. Let us grow strong in The WORD that we might share The WORD with the hungry souls seeking The TRUTH.

JESUS MESSIAH - Chris Tomlin

The Lord Is Faithful and True

 

REVELATION 19:11

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make war.

    HIS FAITHFULNESS

He Keeps His Promises

Psalm 96:12-13

Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming—He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:22-23

It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

2 Timothy 2:13

if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

    HIS TRUTH

He speaks Truth because He IS Truth

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, The Truth and The Life: no man comes to The Father, but by Me.

John 1:14

 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of The Only Begotten of The Father,) full of Grace and Truth.

Numbers 23:19 (Balaam's response to Balak) 

God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?

    Every promise of God will be fulfilled. Whether to bless the faithful or judge the faithless. There are over 400 prophecies in The Old Testament concerning The One Whom God would send to deliver His people and reign as King. Just as the prophecies are several years apart, so, too, are the promises of God. It hasn't even been 2000 years since Christ, but we're getting close. Still His Name is proclaimed to the nations. Still He saves the sinner seeking His grace and mercy. Still The Holy Spirit is poured out upon they whom The Lord God has chosen to receive Him. 

    The promises of God are many and ALL will be fulfilled at some point in time. When King Jesus returns, according to the detail available in this verse, His Authority will be evident (the white horse - purity). He is not coming for a party, but for war. War against the people who chose not to follow Him and who remain after the event in which His people had been "caught up in the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:17); and after the dead in Christ have risen (1 Thessalonians 4:16). 

    His Name is Faithful (unwavering adherence to the truth, steadfast {committed,  unswerving, unyielding}) and True (in accordance with fact, reality; verifiable, accurate). He is Judge and Jury, for He will war against the unfaithful with His Righteousness: the divine approval of God. 

    So very thankful that this Righteousness covers me. See, it's nothing that I accomplished. But it's through my faith on, my belief in, The Only Name Under Heaven by Which We Must Be Saved, through JESUS CHRIST The Only Begotten Son of God, that I am made approved by God to be God's child. 

    His Righteousness is the spiritual garment I wear. I clothed myself in His Righteousness when I repented of my sins and turned away from a living a sinful life to living a holy life. It's not a perfect life, but a lifetime of small achievements in grace which make me holy. In His Righteousness is where I live. I became a  child of God through God's grace ( Galatians 3:25-27; John 1:12). 

    If you are not already in His Righteousness, it's not too late. As long as you have breath in your body, there's still time to place your faith in Christ Jesus. For the day is fast approaching when the decision to choose wisely will no longer be yours to make; for death will have snatched your soul and the opportunity to choose Christ will be gone from you for ever.
