"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

Jesus Is the Truth
What is Truth? No matter how fascinated someone is with the truth, unless they receive Jesus Christ as the truth they cannot be saved. Jesus Christ is revealed as the truth to those who receive the Gospel and repent of their sin. We must all be rightly related to God by living out His Word. We need personal conviction to be changed. Penitence is true sorrow for sin and it affects our attitude, but it means more than an attitude change. It is a divine work of God’s grace that takes place on the inside of an individual. It must upset our natural dispositions and disturbs our inner peace. He individual must experiences the inner workings of the Holy Spirit. Conviction of sin leads to remorse and this brings about repentance. This must continue all the way until the heart is changed. Penitence is the posture of the Christian. Our strength to stand will only be found in Christ, not outward conformity! We must be persuaded beyond every shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Are you convinced that the truth is in Jesus?
