God’s Word is truth – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“…and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
God’s Word is the truth in the world in the world full of deception. It is so amazing that when the word of truth from you goes forth it can turn a person to the Lord. The truth will set free everyone who is in bondage. Truth is also an armor of God. God’s Word says we should wear the belt of truth around our waist (Ephesians 6:14). Belt holds weapons like the sword in place. The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. In order to fight the lies of the devil, we need to know the Word of God which is the source of truth. Only the truth in God’s Word liberates.

Once I read of a beautiful incident. A man of God visited a glass factory. He was greatly amazed while looking at the glass in its melted form in the burning furnace, then it was blown into shapes by a person using a blow-pipe and a beautiful glass vessel was formed. He slowly approached the worker there and said, “Sir! If this burning furnace is so terrible, how much more worse will be the hell fire, burning eternally!” Saying this he left that place. But the words spoken by the man of God began to work in his heart. A week passed by. Suddenly one day, the worker came running to the man of God and said, “Sir! The other day you were talking about the burning hell. I am so terrified! I have lost my peace of mind. Whenever I look at the burning furnace in our factory, I am greatly disturbed as I am filled with the fear of hell. I don’t want to go to hell. Tell me the way to reach Heaven!” The man of God told him about Jesus Christ who died for the sins of humanity. When this worker came to know the truth that only Jesus can save him from hell, he immediately accepted Jesus into his life that very day.

Truth is precious. Jesus is the truth (John 14:6). Knowing Jesus is like owning a jewel that is costlier than all the riches weighed together. There are millions of people in the world who still haven’t heard this truth and are darkened in their minds. How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? (Romans 10:14). Without knowing the Word of God you cannot preach Him to others so take time to read the Word of God. Ask the Holy Spirit to rightly divide the Word of truth so that you will know how to apply it to your life. Read it daily and also share it with others so that they can be saved from the burning hell fire.

Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,

You are the Word and the truth. Help me to follow your commands diligently. Thank you for your precious gift which is revealed in the Bible. Let your Word be written on my heart so that I bear much fruit for your glory. Make opportunities for me to share this truth with others. May your truth set free through me all those who are in bondage.

In your name I pray,

Amen.
