Love Speaks - I Corinthians 13:6 - Tells the Truth



Each day our lives are affected by the concepts and beliefs we have chosen to adopt as part of your moral value system. Interwoven in our belief system are many outside influences, which have helped us to embrace what we consider as truth for our present life.

Truth is a verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like.  It is also defined as being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something.

Truth is what is true in any matter under consideration.  Its purpose is to appertain to the principles of God, which will lead to personal excellence and reverence of Him. 

When truth prevails the people excel.  John 14:6 reads, “Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.” Absolute truth is found in Christ. 

The bible has been a bestseller for many years, and it is one of the most investigated books in history.  When a religion wants to prove its legitimacy, it compares itself to the bible.  When a person wants to prove they are telling the truth, they put their hand on the bible.  The bible is the foundation for our laws, moral values and moral criticism.

Truth exists and you must find the truth, believe the truth, speak the truth, act on the truth and defend the truth. 

Love speaks truth eye to eye with all people. 

There is no need to cover for anything spoken in truth.  Truth is the balance scale upon which all spoken words should be weighed. 

Love rejoices in the truth.  It gets joy when truth prevails in such a generation as this.  Truth is not always popular, but it is always right.

Christians have just as much right to live out their beliefs as anyone else. We do not force our beliefs on anyone, but we are commanded to set the captives free.  The only way to set captives free is through the absolute truth of Christ.

You have been given the Spirit of God to guide you into all truths.  Simply put He is there to make sure you know what the will of the Father is for whatever life presents to you.  The voice you often refer to when you realize you have made a wrong decision is usually His voice directing you against the norm into the perfect will of God. 

Truth Test
1.     Does it align with the Word of God?
2.     Will it please God?
3.     Will it positively benefit the plan of God for His creation?
4.     Will what you are following help someone outside of yourself?
