Everyone Who Is of the Truth


Wherever there is someone who wants to find truth and righteousness they must be directed toward Christ. Those who desire to attain eternal life must guard and keep watch over themselves to observe the commandments. Not by claiming it but not living it. One must be willing to sell their most treasured possession and follow Christ. Without this we are not identified with Christ, but only parts of Him. Jesus said it is not enough to practice exterior religion truth must be lived out. Hypocrites pretend but do not live out what they profess. One must be willing to sacrifice their own thoughts, feelings, and judgments and be willing to lose their life. One must be willing to let go of all we used to believe and identify with the commands of God on a daily basis. When one sees Christ as the truth they not only believe in His words but practice the truth! One must be willing to live as Christ commands them. Live out His commands and live in obedience. One cannot hold to their own opinions and come to Christ! Jesus did not teach us about religion but to live His religion so we become holy like He is holy! Everyone who is of the truth hears His voice and receives what He is saying in obedience. They conform their lives to what they have heard. Through the challenges of life they go on living, obeying, and acting out what they have been taught.
