Veritas

One of the things I look forward to in Heaven is weightlessness, for I will be spirit.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23(KJV Bible)

Gravity is not an issue in the Kingdom of God, so it should not be an issue now.

Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

While the verse in John is a call to worship and the verses in Matthew are a call to rest, both sections signify a call to Christ. That Jesus Christ is the only way to God. That only the rest which Jesus Christ offers is available through Him. All we have to do is believe that Jesus Christ is Who He says He is.

Truth in John 4:23 is from the Greek word 'veritas', meaning reality. The Word of God is real and current. It is not stale nor has it outlived its usefulness. For The Word of God is Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. The Old Testament is the history of the old covenants from and through God under which men and women of those times were brought into the family of God.

The New Testament has not ended, but is still in its growing stage, for true believers are being added to the family of God even yet. While the Book of Revelation is written out for us in our Bibles, it has yet to happen in our lifetimes. But it is real and it is true.

The New Testament is The New Covenant of Grace. Christ is this covenant. No longer are we bound by laws and rituals. We are not free of The Law, The Ten Commandments, so to speak, for The Law has been fulfilled in Christ: He is The Law. The Ten Commandments defines the character of God. The first five are a call to worship and serve Him. The second five are a call to serve His people honorably. Jesus Christ is The Law of The Old Testament made flesh in The New Testament. How cool is that?

The New Testament is where the new believer is referred to as a Christian, a Christ-follower; not just a Truth-sayer, but a Truth-doer. Their actions backed up their words. As in the beginning of the church's plantings, to say “I am a Christian” was to place a death sentence upon yourself. For many hated Christ, and as such, hate also anything that reminds them of Christ. Even us. Especially, us.

It is not supposed to be easy for you and I to be Christians. But it will be worth it.
