“Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.” (John 17:17, NIV84) We stop to meditate today on an amazing verse in Scripture. Over the last month or so we have looked at a lot of verses that reference truth. We have been looking into the words of Jesus and appreciating the depth and meaning the […]
04/06/22 Daily Devotion – We Christians have the truth within us!
“…the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” (John 14:17, NIV84) The Spirit of God is truth, too. The Scriptures declare that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all sources of truth. […]
04/05/22 Daily Devotion – The Spirit will guide us into truth!
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13, NIV84) Paul tells us in his first letter to the Corinthians that spiritual truths are […]
04/04/22 Daily devotion – There can only be one way!
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” (John 14:6, NIV84) Just prior to speaking these words to His disciples, Jesus was talking with them about going back to the Father in heaven where there would be places prepared for them when they […]
04/03/22 Daily Devotion – Truth or blasphemy?
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” (John 8:58, NIV84) Here is another amazing truth statement of Jesus. He claims in the verse above to have existed before Abraham was born. More than that, He claims to be the great “I AM.” He claims to be God. He began the […]
04/02/22 Daily Devotion – Hold fast to the truth!
“I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” (John 8:51, NIV84) Now here is a truth claim that should cause most to stop and listen. There aren’t too many ways to misinterpret what Jesus is saying in the verse above. He is claiming authority over absolute truth and over […]
04/01/22 daily Devotion – Believing truth is still a choice!
“Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!” (John 8:45, NIV84) I have been studying Ravi Zacharias’ writings lately, and one thing he repeatedly states is that truth pronounced by the most excellent and persuasive speaker doesn’t mean the truth will be accepted or believed by another person holding a different view. People […]
03/31/22 Daily Devotion – When it comes to truth, be cautious of your sources!
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44, NIV84) […]
03/30/22 Daily Devotion – Even our worship must be in Spirit and Truth!
“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24, NIV84) We tend to think that truth can only be found and discussed in the empirical realm. If we can’t see it, touch it, or taste it, it can’t be seen as true. But is that true? Of course not! There […]
03/29/22 Daily Devotion – Only the truth can set one free!
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31–32, NIV84) Now, here is an important progression of thought to lay hold of. Who of us doesn’t want to be free? […]
