In the Truth

24 “But I also have a message for the rest of you in Thyatira who have not followed this false teaching (‘deeper truths,’ as they call them—depths of Satan, actually). I will ask nothing more of you 25 except that you hold tightly to what you have until I come. 26 To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end,
To them I will give authority over all the nations.
27 They will rule the nations with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.
- Revelations 2:24-27


What is truth? Truth is the foundation of our character and where we base our values. There are many truths out there, theologies of religion and teachings of many groups or new movements. Information has evolved from generation to generation and will not stop evolving as long as the world exists. But there's only one truth that we should stand by and we should chose that truth for ourselves. We cannot merely be passive on chosing which truth to live by because it is based how we will live our lives, not chosing a truth to live by only means chosing the truth that is easy and convenient even though it may not necessarily be right. But there is a man who declared He is the truth, who walked on earth just to prove that He is who He said that He is. This man has also declared He is not just a man but the Son of GOD. His name Is Yeshua, Jesus. 

If you believe in Him as the truth, you will chose to follow Him and His ways. You will seek Him each day because you have embraced Him as Your Lord. There are many who proclaim to be "christians" but are not really following the LORD. When we follow the LORD it doesn't mean the way will be easy and we may not always like where He is taking us but, this is the only way to live a full life. If you feel empty and that something is missing, then seek JESUS because HE alone knows where you should go. If you are a follower be careful to guard that relationship you have with the LORD because the enemy will do his best to snatch your truth away from you, many will be deceived of the false truths that will be presented to them. If you claim JESUS as your LORD, take heed to what HE is saying in the book of Revelations: Hold tightly to what you have until He comes. Do not let this world decieve you of the truths that are being lured by the enemy for you to be led astray. You will know you are in the right path following your LORD because the peace HE has promised that surpasses human understanding will be with you even if it seems chaotic around you. You will not be anxious or troubled, you will be at rest, you will be unaffected by any calamity, you will be unshaken. GOD promises to give us even more than vicotry when we have been faithful obeying HIM to the very end, HE has promised things unimaginable, things to great to even think about or explain.
