If you don’t know what Truth is, then how can you be grounded in your walk?
Truth comes by The Holy Scriptures and The Holy Spirit. Both were and are “GOD breathed”. Only Truth can originate from the Throne Room of Heaven.
John recorded by The Holy Spirit in his Gospel in chapter 14:
6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me. To know Me is to know my Father too.
7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”
Jesus is our Door to Truth. Man’s opinion of truth based on his experience is at best incomplete. Why consider a partial truth when you can walk in complete, absolute Truth?
John recorded by The Holy Spirit in his Gospel in chapter 1:
17 Moses gave us the Law, but Jesus, the Anointed One, unveils Truth wrapped in tender mercy.
FATHER’S Truth is based on Love, grace, and mercy. Who better to reveal FATHER’S Divine Intent other than HIS Son who knows HIM best!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
15 Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you Wisdom to experience everlasting life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One!
16 Every Scripture has been written by the Holy Spirit, the Breath of God. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness.
17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.
Paul communicates the importance of The Holy Scriptures to Timothy and us. They will give us Wisdom and direct us into Godliness and maturity. This will result in us being fully equipped to complete our purpose on earth which was determined before we were formed in the womb (Psalm 139:16).
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in his Gospel in chapter 28:
18 Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All the authority of the universe has been given to Me.
19 Now go in My authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
20 And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”
How can we teach anyone if we don’t know the Truth? Included in teaching is to convey Wisdom and understanding else the teaching is incomplete.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in his Gospel in chapter 18:
34 But they understood none of these things; this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things which were spoken.
The disciples did not have understanding when Jesus told them when He prophesied of His death and resurrection. They did not have a clue of what was imminent so they were not fully equipped to handle those events. No one was at the burial tomb awaiting His resurrection!
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter 1:
15Indeed, I’m passionate to share these things with you so that you will always remember them after my exodus from this life.
16 We were not retelling some masterfully crafted legend when we informed you of the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we saw His magnificence and splendor unveiled before our very eyes.
17 Yes, Father God lavished upon Him radiant glory and honor when HIS Distinct Voice spoke out of the realm of majestic glory, endorsing Him with these words: This is my cherished Son, marked by My Love. All My delight is found in H im!
18 And we ourselves heard that Voice resound from the heavens while we were with Him on the Holy mountain.
Peter conveys his eyewitness account of Who Jesus is. Peter was close to death and made sure he recorded what he saw and heard so that there would be no question.
19 And so we have been given the prophetic Word—the Written Message of the prophets, made more reliable and fully validated by the confirming voice of God on the Mount of Transfiguration. And you will continue to do well if you stay focused on it. For this prophetic Message is like a piercing light shining in a gloomy place until the dawning of a new day, when the Morning Star rises in your hearts.
Peter expressly confirms the Words of the prophets by his own eyewitness accounts of the supernatural events.
20 You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of Scriptural Prophecy requires the Holy Spirit, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination. 21 No true prophecy comes from human initiative but is inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit upon those who spoke the message that came from God.
Peter also included the need to hear The Holy Spirit in all spiritual matters so that we would know the Truth from Above.
