John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,
I know the truth. It is not a matter of how I know, it is a matter of who I know.
John 14:17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
Given that I believe that the Holy Spirit, my helper, is the third person of God, and that God does not lie, I can trust that the Holy Spirit will only reveal the truth to me.
John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
I do not define truth as the world defines truth. What truth I do know is only because He who is true has revealed it to me. Everything in the world is suspect because the Prince of the Power of the Air is a liar and has great influence over those who are not in Christ. We do not know that every source of information available to us is based on lies, but I would rather not dabble in lies.
This is why I choose to rely on His Word, the Word of Truth, the testimony of He who is True.
That does not mean my eyes do not perceive the lies of the enemy of Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
My motto on one social media site is: “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything!”
I will not endeavor to trip anyone.
Do Not Cause Another to Stumble
Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
