Make them holy by your truth, teach them your word which is the truth.
-John 17:17(NLT)
TRUTH LEADS TO HOLINESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you able to distinguish a lie from truth?
If you dwell on the word, it will take root
God gave you his truth through his word
He wants you to abide in it to overcome this world.
Truth leads to holiness
It reveals lies and cleanses
If you dwell and feed on all it says
You are on the road to righteousness.
There are many people who are so confused these days. Even those who are closest to God can get messed up by worldly systems. That is why the bible says in Hebrews 2:1 that we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard or we may drift away from it. 2 Timothy 3:16 also says that “ All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens and teaches us to do what is right.”
John said that we are made holy by truth and the word is the truth. We are summoned to seek his word so we can be holy. Are you compelled to follow the call to holiness?
PRAYER
Lord, give me a hunger for your word always.
REFLECTION
How can God’s word protect you from evil and lies?

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
-John 17:17(NLT)
GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Is your life anchored on the standards of this world?
Do you study and live by God’s word?
Those who believe in Christ are called to live a holy life
They are expected to seek him and stay in the light.
Staying constantly focused on the truth will set you free
It will keep you from sin and will bring you victory
The word of God guides and makes you holy
It is the truth that strengthens you if you follow it.
Are you a believer of God? Do you know the difference between the truth and a lie? There are many Christians that live in confusion because they choose to follow their human nature. Our nature tends to focus on “satisfying the self.” It is selfish by nature but God can change that if we know the truth and follow his Spirit’s call to become more like him. The word of God changes lives. I testify to this because it is the truth that freed me from all the bondages of sin and strongholds in my life. Jesus prayed for all believers in John 17:17 for us to seek the word, which is the truth. It protects us from our fallen nature.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me hungry for your word.
REFLECTION
How has the word changed you?
