In the book of John chapter fourteen and verse six, Jesus said, “I am the only way (to God) and the (real) Truth, and the (real) Life.” AMP version.
As the Way, Jesus is our salvation, for there is no other name given under heaven for men to be saved. That would mean male and female. Amen!
As the Truth, Jesus is “the revelation of God” and He reveals this to us in John 14:6, by giving us His testimony!
His testimony was given to comfort His disciples and for all people through all times.
He started this comforting in John 14:1, “don’t let your heart be troubled, you believe in God and trust in Him (have faith, hold on to it, rely on it, keep going and) believe also in Me!” AMP version.
Trusting in God is the most comforting thing we can do, and trust is to believe the truth. Jesus is the Truth based on His own testimony. So by trusting God we also believe in Jesus and fulfill John 14:1. Amen!
It’s our responsibility to hold onto our trust in God, and our belief in Jesus (the Truth).
I wrote this statement down the other day while studying the Word of God and it went like this, “your head will trouble your heart if you allow it.”
We have a revelational ability that we need to deploy when our head tries to make us wonder, this revelational ability is “faith”.
Faith comes by hearing, which is hearing the Good News about the Christ. Amen! Romans 10:17
One of our responsibilities is to attend and be involved in a Bible ministering church. The Good News about the Christ was revealed to Godly men throughout the Bible, and is absorbed by our hearing and receiving it with an open heart.
To truly hear the Word about the Christ we must get out of mindfulness and open up our spirits!
Remember our head will trouble our hearts if we allow it.
Let’s enter into the prayer and worship before the sermon when attending church services, this opens our hearts so we can truly hear.
Mark 4:25 in the Passion Translation says, “For those who listen with open hearts will receive more revelation. But those who don’t listen with open hearts will lose what little they think they have.”
This is the responsibility I was talking about; in this verse “you” is the intended subject.
It is up to us to shut out what’s going on around us, calm our mind, which is a form of comforting that’s in God’s revealed Word. We listen deeply and intently, with an open heart.
The revelation of God is a “must-have” to live a victorious life. Mark 4:25 says, if we don’t listen with an open heart, we don’t receive any revelation and we lose what little we thought we had.
This back and forth, this gaining and losing only causes us to doubt in Jesus. Who is our only hope at knowing the Way, operating in the Truth, and living our best life both now and eternally. Amen!
You see, doubt is duo (or double) which always leads to confusion and faithlessness. Trust is assurance and always leads to confidence. Our confidence is based on our dependence and our relationship with Jesus Christ.
I just brought up another one of those words that we as a people kind of struggle with, “dependence.”
Dependence is relying on another. In life, many of us have been let down by the people that we trusted, even those close to us. I will actually venture out to say that all of us experienced this letdown at some point in our lives.
You see no matter how great the revelation may be, no matter how intelligent we become, no matter how much knowledge we possess, it will never take the place of a “revelation from God.”
Besides ourselves, God is the only One who knows our spirit!
He made us and therefore we must look to Him to meet all our needs, and that is according to His riches in Glory, by Christ Jesus.
This is Philippians 4:19, a verse that God revealed in-depth to me while I was studying it, and pondering its meaning.
The verse reveals God’s heart in His giving to us, Jesus! Amen!
The revelation went like this, “Jesus Christ became the “way” for God to get riches to us from Glory!
God had all these riches for us, His people, stored up in Glory. He needed a “way” to get them to those of us on the earth. So He sent His only Son to deliver us from the bondage of sin, and to open up the riches of Glory to us so that He can lavish us with all His Goodness! Wow!
What a great and awesome Revelator, this God of ours. If you know Him, endeavor to get closer, if you don’t know Him, pray this prayer; we can all affirm or reaffirm our faith.
Thank You, God, that the revelation of Your Word is very near to me, it is in my mouth and in my heart. By faith, I confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord of all and Lord of my life. He has all power, majesty, and authority of You, my God. I believe in my heart that you God raised Jesus from the dead; I also believe in my heart that what you are revealing to me right now is Your saving grace. I confess with my own mouth that you, Jesus, are my Way, my Truth, and my Life, and I thank You for the exchange from death to life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
