Messiah!

For Friday, September 27, 2024:

1 John 4:2 MSG: “Here’s how you test for the genuine Spirit of God. Everyone who confesses openly his faith in Jesus Christ—the Son of God, who came as an actual flesh-and-blood person—comes from God and belongs to God.”

As the end times draw near, the Bibles says that the number of false preachers will increase. It seems that many want to stake out a piece of the action, especially Satan! It’s his last chance!

While we’re generally told that there is no reason to question or to test God and his inspired Word, we’re told quite the opposite here. “Carefully weigh and examine what people tell you. Not everyone who talks about God comes from God.”

Fill your mind with truth and reject everything that doesn’t conform. Believers are adopted into the Holy Family as children of the Most High, so we need to intentionally integrate God’s family values into our lives. Remember, truth is our Father’s opinion on everything!

The truth for which we are looking is the story of Jesus’ life. He came to earth as a little baby in a human body. He died as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, giving believers access to the hereafter. Death could not hold him – he was resurrected, ascended back to the Father from whence he came and is eternal. Jesus is the prophesied Messiah.

Jesus is the key to truth. No Jesus – no truth!
