Knowledge of Truth does not save you…it empowers you to do the Truth…which results in salvation when obeyed.

Knowledge of Truth does not save you…it empowers you to do the Truth…which results in salvation when obeyed.


Knowledge does not save you…the applying of the knowledge… obedience to the truth of the facts save you… If you have the truth or the knowledge of the facts Jesus the Christ of Nazareth died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could be forgiven and be taught the truth so you can do right before Your Creator…this knowledge does not save you by itself…for even satan or the demons have the same knowledge but do not render obedience to the Truth to be right with their Creator…Jas 2:19 ASV Thou believe that God is one; thou do well: the demons also believe, and shudder.


However if you do believe the facts you have the right to obey the truth in order to be right with God…Joh 1:12-13 ASV But as many as received Him (Jesus the Truth…the Life…the Way), to them gave He the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.


Jesus said it this way…Mat 11:27-30 ASV All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light…


Jesus said if you agree to be taught by Him or take His yoke upon you…then you will have rest for your soul…or as I read it…freedom from evil…as in Jesus keeps evil from affecting you so you can have rest for your soul and learn the truth in order to do what is right with God His Father…it is light and easy yoke.


Jesus promises enough for our daily lives…Joh 6:35 ASV Jesus said unto them, I am the Bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst… ASV But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your Heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Mat 6:30-34


Jesus came for any soul to repent before it’s Creator listen… 2Pe 3:9-10 ASV The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up.


Even the fallen Angels or demons can choose no knowledge of evil and repent before their Creator. They have the knowledge Jesus died and was rose from the grave to destroy the works of the liar the devil but do not repent and obey. Knowing the truth does not save you practicing the truth does…My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous: 8 he that doeth sin (evil deeds) is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested (made known like a manifest on a ship), that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:7-8 ASV

Do you think those who tell a lie everyday want to know the truth and do what is right with God? One lie’s punishment is a place in eternal torment of the soul called Hell…do you want to be punished for telling a lie? Jesus died so you could confess your lies and be forgiven and will teach how to never lie again…sound like good news? Yes or no.


Joh 8:31-32 ASV Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed Him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free. My question is free from what…the lies who deceive you…


Will you take the teachings of Jesus or His yoke upon you and learn about Him so He can reveal the Truth to you then all you do is practice the truth and be free from the influence of lies? Yes or no?


Jesus said… Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you want to know the Truth of how to provide for your family…then ask Jesus how to do it right before God…Do you want to be righteous not evil then hunger after right ways of God more than food…Jesus said He will fill your ways up as long as they are righteous before Him. Right makes might every time when you are standing with God or desiring God’s righteousness to be done…here am I Lord use me.


As it is written in the New Agreement between our Creator and creation…Mar 16:14-20 ASV And afterward He(Jesus) was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and He upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen Him after He was risen. 15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but He that disbelieves shall be condemned. 17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.


Father…please remove the power of the lies who have been sown in our hearts that we may have a love of the Truth which cannot be quenched…grant us repentance and mercy for the unforgiven and help us to love what you love and hate what you hate in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
