Grow up!

Ephesians 4: 15

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ.

 

If any believer desires to become mature in the faith, they must learn to love the truth.

If not, there will always be this crack open to allow the enemy to come in, and take the good things God meant for us to possess.

 

I meet people every week, who have great difficulties facing the truth about themselves.

Some of them actually prefer living in the world of make believe.

 

They pretend that certain things happening all around them, aren’t really happening.

Let me be clear about this. Satan is very real, pain is real, problems are real, and poor and sick people are real.

The good news is, that no matter how the junk of life seems to disturb us, we can overcome it by God’s Word.

 

The amount of love we have for the truth, is in direct proportion to how much time we spend  in it.

We can’t “grow up” into Christ, if we’re not doing the basic things of the faith.

 

How will you grow up this week?

Sometimes the truth about us can hurt.

It is however, the truth that will set us free.

 

When you find truth, you will have found real freedom and joy.

Without truth, we only learn to live outside the realm of reality……
