Truth is eternal; it is irrevocable; it is the
foundation of all life, and without it, we crumble into a heap of rubble.
Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it
is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now
live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who
loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Remeber that old hymn “when we walk with the Lord, in the
light of His Word, what blessings He sheds on our way; when we do His good
will, He abides with us still…..”
His yoke is easy, and His burden is light, and if we walk His path in the
light of His word, we walk in Truth and in Spirit. If we would
serve Him, we serve His brethren, in Truth and in Spirit. Like the
motto of the 3 Musketeers — All for one, and one for all! It is the
Love that brings us to make the scripture act upon the words…. and all
things work for good to them that love the Lord!
Rom_8:28 And we know that
to them that love God all things work together for good,
even
to them that are called according to
his
purpose.
It is the body of Christ working and co-operating
together that brings the benefit for all; but it is to be done according to
God's purpose and will.
Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath
been, it is that
which shall be; and that which is done
is that
which shall be done: and there
is no new
thing under
the sun.
There is nothing new under the sun; we may understand it
better and more complete as we research, but there is nothing new. Are we
gullible and believe anyone who has "authority" or degrees, or are we our
own person, and search to understand that which is already there?
In considering the scriptures, I am pesuaded that Christ
not only spoke in parables (hearing they do not understand and seeing they
do not perceive; let the reader understand), but everything that He said had
that hidden spiritual meaning to be understood. But we as human beings
consider knowledge in the manner of human understanding of this world, and
do not set our mind upon the things from above. (See the entry for January
31, 2010.)

From G3982; persuasion, that is, credence;
moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of
God or a religious teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for

from the dead.
We who are BAPTIZED and added to the body of Christ by God
himself, are under the blood of Christ, and are protected by His Holy Spirit
as guaranteed, and will remain there as long as we walk in His Ways. As
long as we search (not taking someone else's word as truth until we search
it), and study diligently discerning His Word in the light of His purposes
and according to His Will, we will find the comfort and strength to endure.
Even the sparrow that falls is under His care and mercy; how much more for
those who become His little children?
