Are You Holding Fast to the Truth?
Truth is fact, whether you believe it or not. Saying you believe in something doesn’t mean a lick if your actions say otherwise. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”- Luke 12:1. Faithfulness to God requires courage, especially this world of shifting standards. Hold fast to the Truth, and let Him shape your thoughts, guide your actions, and influence every decision you make.
Today, remember that knowing the truth and living the truth are two different things. We are not to be hypocrites, but doers of the Word. Seek God, and abide in his love. He is with you wherever you go, so fear not and live life to the fullest.
Give Jesus what He paid for, and live this life to the fullest in, and with, Him.
"Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth."
— John 17:17
