The Dirty 5 Letter Word!

TRUTH!

That is the word, Truth. It is a word more and more people do not want to hear. Especially if you claim that there is an absolute TRUTH.

Today you can ask someone what happens when you die and they may say, heaven, hell, purgatory, re-incarnation or nothing. However only two of the above are true. Weather or not someone wants to believe that is ill relevant.

Belief has nothing to do with the truth. You may say that you don't believe in trucks, however no matter how hard you believe it, if you step out into the middle of the highway you will quickly learn the TRUTH. So what you believe really does not make something true. So the question really is what is more important? What you believe, or if what you believe is true? Because if your belief is wrong, reality will come and hit you up side the head. Or cost you your soul to damnation.

So your belief in what happens after you die, is critical that you know the truth. Because if you are wrong there are serious consequences for your mistake. Jesus says in John 14:6 "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the light. No one comes to the father but through me." So if you believe in Muhammad, Buddha, 3 Million Hindu Gods, JW's that deny the trinity, Mormons who believe that Jesus is the brother of the devil, or Scientology (made up by a science FICTION writer) where you have to use an e-meter to cleanse yourself of unwanted spiritual conditions (maybe like SIN, however the e-meter is a tad lacking in the removal process only Christ can do that and it won't cost thousands of dollars). They are all wrong, and everyone that is following these false religions will be judge by God and given the punishment that they deserve. That is not God's will however. 2 Peter 3:9 says "The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance."

That final word in the 2 Peter passage is critical. Repent defined as
"to turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one’s life" We must repent and put our trust in Jesus Christ for our salvation. It is clear from Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." That Jesus is the TRUTH, and as I referenced earlier in the passage John 14:6, Jesus himself claims to be the TRUTH.

So, please make sure that what you believe is true and not just something that you believe. By reading the word of God you can be sure that you are reading the truth. 2 Timothy 3:16 "
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness."

THINK ABOUT IT AND READ THE WORD (DON'T BE HOODWINKED)
