Tuesday: Know the Truth

RECOGNIZE

Jesus says “If you abide in my word, you are my disciples, and the truth will set you free.” Rightly defining truth is foundational to remaining steadfast. If our footing is stable and sure, we will not be moved when the winds and the waves come. 

Furthermore, truth requires action. Knowing truth is not just an activity of the mind. It is something you believe to your core, it’s what you put your hope in. When you put your hope in Jesus, you lean the weight of your life on Him. There is nothing held back.

RESPOND

Do you believe the truth that Jesus Christ lived, died, rose to new life, and reigns for your salvation and joy? Do you know He is your only hope to know the truth and be set free? Have you leaned the weight of your life on Him as your only Lord and Savior? Are you willing to build your life on the gracious authority of His Word? Where have you sought to do it your own way? Where do you look for your strength and source of steadfastness?
