Walking in the Truth
Psalms 117,119:81-176; 2 John; 3 John
“It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
3 John 3, 4
Does the truth still matter?
In an age of moral relativism and post modernity, does the concept of truth still matter?
The Word of God says it does. Truth in God’s economy is not just epistemology, but a path on which we choose to walk and live. The variety of Greek and roman gods and goddesses, with their sensuality and implied license for self-indulgence, were no match for the simple truth found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus called himself the way, the truth, and the life. Those who discover the secret to joy and a full life in knowing and walking with the living God choose to live on the path of Jesus. We walk in the truth and are faithful to this truth. The current gods of self-indulgence, entertainment, and material wealth are still unable to satisfy us at the center of our being. We were created to know and respond to the truth.
What truth-choices are we being invited to make as we approach a new year?
“Lord Jesus, you are the truth and your life is my guide, for your glory.”
