Seeking the truth of Scripture is paramount with each step of our walk with Christ. Knowing more about Jesus strengthens our relationship, stomps out doubt, and motivates us to love Christ. What does it say about us when we seek the truth?
Acts 17:11 says These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all reading, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. Seeking the truth means we are always ready to hear the word of the Lord and desire to make Scripture part of our daily lives!
2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 says in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power. Seeking the truth means we want to know God, we want to obey Jesus, and we do not want to be cut off our Father forever!
Hebrews 3:12-14 says Beware , brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in de- parting from the living God: but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the begin- ning of our confidence steadfast to the end. Seeking the truth displays a soft heart & belief in God while demonstrating our disdain for sin.
Seeking the truth means we gain knowledge, are always in the presence of God, and keeping sin at arm’s length. Will you seek the truth today?
