KNOWING TRUTH

      Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and truth shall make ye free.  (John 8: 31, 32)

   Truth is good medicine. 
   Truth, however, is not always something that we like, not something we look forward to hearing, nor is it something we quickly accept. 
   Rarely do people get excited about truth, for truth is something that we can easily reject. 
   Truth is confrontational.  When truth meets lies face to face, truth wins.  But if we reject truth, we prefer instead to live in lies that we have believed as truth. 
   When we reject truth, knowing that we have received truth, we choose to remain in a life of lies, which is the same as living a life of hypocrasy:  which is a life of deception as we try to convince others that we are right and that others are wrong. 
   If you do not believe in Jesus, then you cannot be His disciple; for you are not being truthful, which makes you a hypocrite because you are trying to convince others that you are a believer of the person in whom you have no faith.
   For thousands of years, man's greatest creative endeavors has been his inventions of religions,  which are built on lies, and which also means that all of man's religions are works of evil:  because the intention of man's religions is turn the minds and hearts of people away from knowing the truth about Almighty God, Creator of the universe. 
   And to have faith in a religion is also to have faith in lies; as such, people will live a life of lies all the days of their lives---while believing that these lies are truth.  Religion, therefore, is a work of great deception, which is why religion is a work of evil.  Because the people of religions have not accepted the word of truth from God, the people become workers of evil while not knowing the darkness of their own minds.  This, too, is part of the great deception that reigns thoughout man's religions. 
   Just as Jesus said:  If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and truth shall make ye free.
   Whereas, in religion you are not free because you do not know the truth; therefore, you are a prisoner and a slave to the lies of religion---and not free in Christ because you are not continuing in His word because you are continuing in the words of religion:  which, to you, is truth, and not Christ.
   Truth is good medicine.  But to receive the benefit of good medicine, the medicine must be taken:  received and swallowed.   At which time healing begins.  If, however, the medicine is rejected, death of the soul is a terminal sickness:  from which no healing is possible---neither in this world, nor in the world to come. 
   To receive spiritual healing, take the medicine.  Accept the truth of Christ and you will know freedom for the first time in your life. 
   The truth of Christ is as near as your own breath.
