The Fear of Losing The Truth

What if someone stole the most important thing in your life, and then told you that if you did not obey them you would lose it, and they would never give it back? Moreover, this same person contacted you daily with condition you must meet until your entire life is overwhelmed with rules and laws that kept you angry, depressed, and anxious about everything in your life.

But later you find out that what they said hadn't been stolen, it hadn't been lost at all, furthermore, it could never be lost or taken by any human, how would you feel? Deceived!

This little story is not an exaggeration whatsoever, it is sadly the everlasting truth found in all false religion which has taken the words of Christ holding them out to us that if we do not do and perform certain acts demanded by their religion we lose the truth, that is, Christ.

Rom.8:37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1.
Can We Lose The Truth?

Yes, we can if we think the truth is in mankind, if we think its in our religion, or even ourselves? You see, God never tells us anywhere in our bibles that people are the truth. Nor does he say that if we measure ourselves against others, and/or against ourselves we can delineated what is truth of God.

Romans 3:4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment."{Psalm 51:4}

The truth is established long before mankind was created by an incorruptible God. The word incorruptible means exact that, God cannot lie which lying is a corruption to all truth that God himself is the truth, incorruptible truth.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began;

Hebrews 6:18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

However, human standards in sin says, that we can lie, and be in the truth, do you believe that? Has God put the burden of being “the truth” on us humans, how would you answer that question?

Jer.17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
No Lie In Truth

2.
There is no lie in truth, truth cannot lie not even a little bit, not even once, and still be the truth, the truth of God is from the God that never lies, so what standard of truth do we worship in?

So all of us are disqualified from ever being the truth and that is why God says all fall short of his glory because all of us have sinned.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

So where did sin come from? It came from the first lie! In other words, have we as Christian's connected all the dots? We all get pretty uppity when called a liar, or that we are teaching lies. But the dots say once sin came from the first lie it corrupted everything that is God's truth a God whom cannot lie! Thus, meaning all of with sin to be part of the lie, a liar.

1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Human say: “ if I teach God's word close enough then I am teaching the truth”, but is that what God says? Well, can we live in the lie created by the sin but we speak the truth of God? Do we love truth?

James. 3:7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

3.
You see, all lies add to God's word, God cannot lie so when he speaks truth he adds no corruption to his words, his words are pure and true having life in each one. We as humans have very low standards regarding the most important thing to our eternal life so we blurt out all manner of stuff to prove we have truth, the more bible, the more justification the better the truth we have?

But we don't have truth in a lie, granted we have been taught, told and deduced that we do have truth because we uses the bible, but the bible says not!

Ecclesiastes 5:2 Don't be rash with your mouth, and don't let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

Ecclesiastes 5:6 Don't allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don't protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Ecclesiastes 6:7 All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

What Happen to Truth After Sin?

Once Adam sinned was he “in the truth”, did he have the truth, or did he experience the judgment of the truth of God?

Did Adam and Eve come to the truth of God, or did they hid from it after they sinned, what had changed from a loving Father son relationship into fear and darkness, sin!

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

4.
Gen.3:8 They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.
3:9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" 3:10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

Sin ended truth on earth! How would mankind know the truth in sin?
Can we follow the dots? Nothing until Christ came as the Truth and the way back to God who is the incorruptible truth.

John.1:14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Did Abraham say: “I am the truth and the way”? How about Moses? King David? Which one of God's chosen prophets utter such words? Did any of them say; “I am in the truth”.

None! Why? Have we connected the dots yet? None, because all had sinned and fallen short of God's glory. Not-ah! Shocking as it is the truth has no lie in it, our getting uppity over speaking truth we need to understand man's anger does not work out God's righteousness, which we should know at least what God's righteousness is for Christians, do, we know where God's righteousness is found for us today?

Well, not in the lie, not in humans that sin. No! But in Christ Jesus, whom never lie not even under test of our sins. He is the truth and the way that is God's stamp of approval of Christ! You see, righteousness of God was also found in the law, before Christ came. Yes!

5.
The law proved every man a sinner, and a liar, but with God great mercy found in the blood of innocent victim of animals that had not sinned because God did not create them to be moral being God purchased our unrighteous sins against his righteousness the law temporarily until Christ God's truth came.

Romans 3:21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets;

Romans 3:26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

Philippians 1:11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 3:6 concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

So not even in the law one could boast of being righteous; all sinned and fell short of God's glory, that is, a sinner are liars, what we have is to accept and thank God for his great mercy. So the question is why do we look at the speck in our brother eye of sin by using God's word the bible, but haven't removed the rafter from our own eye?

6.

Matt.7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? 7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

Do you know why? Because we can't remove it, did you connect the dots? It was the blood that removes the rafter in our eye, not our judging using the bible.

How could judgment remove sin if it takes God's gift of innocent life given us freely from his love to save us making us right? Do we understand that it is when one considers themselves superior by knowledge coined the truth they judge their brother?

Does Not the Blood of Redemption Make all Equal?

Subsequently, where did Adam go to get back into the truth, once he sinned? Well, he didn't, now did he? Let say for those having a hard time with this subject if Adam read his bible day and night, of course he didn't have one, but lets say he wrote down every word God spoke to him while he was in the light? Would reading those words over and over again remove his sins? Now think? That is, using the words of a righteous God as a scrub bush daily to remove the filth of his sin?

Have we connected the dots? To remove sin it takes a life, one given freely by God, thus, it takes the power of God to remove sin from us does it not?

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Truth Not Lost

7.
The truth cannot be lost that is the lie, where we can say that no truth of God exist. Moreover, it does not depend upon man to restore the truth, another big fat lie! If mankind cannot redeem himself out of the lie how can he restore the truth or even take credit for God's truth at all?

Ephesians 4:21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:

Ephesians 5:9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

James 1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Truth is incorruptible and it does not die, or lie, the question is, where are we looking for truth at? And why are so many so uppity over claiming to have found the truth, and in passing it on when the truth of God is freely given to all mankind if they want it? Yes! The truth can't lie, so we are told the truth when God say its not far off from each one of us if we seek it in the one name given to all mankind, as the truth, Christ Jesus!

John 5:44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don't seek the glory that comes from the only God?
8.
Acts 17:27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Why are human locking it up, but they aren't that is an illusion of one thinking they are a god in their flesh.

That thinking is from false religions created by the will of mankind, not the will of God who is the truth. It is their doctrines of faith, but freely can't be locked up, by mere mortal human in their sinful flesh.

Isa.40:5 The glory of Yahweh shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
40:6 The voice of one saying, "Cry!" One said, "What shall I cry?" "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field.
40:7 The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh's breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass.
40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever."

Now on the other hand, wicked spirit force misleading people in their flesh uses great zeal to blind all to the truth Christ Jesus. But have those wicked spirit force have the power to bind and blind Christ and God's angels that declare God's every lasting Good News from heaven to our earth?

Col.1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love; 1:14 in whom we have our redemption,{TR adds "through his blood,"} the forgiveness of our sins;
1:15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

9.
1:16 For by him all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and for him. 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.

No! But why? Simply speaking, Christ was given all God's power two thousand's years ago, there is not one thing not subjected under his feet, that is, his power, which includes all spirit son's of God good or bad!

Heb. 1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1:4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have. 1:5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today have I become your father?"{Psalm 2:7} and again, "I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?"{2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13}

Have we connected the dots? In other words, the truth cannot be lost that is a lie of false religion, so what is false religion at its core?

Well, lets make this clear, it is the flesh that was created by sin from the first lie! The lie stolen from God, to make itself into a god! All those in the flesh are liars and thieves when it come to God's word the bible.

John. 10:8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them. 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

10.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

Flesh adds to the word of God, that is, sin in their flesh adds yeast instead of speaking the pure unadulterated word coming the Christ in Spirit and truth. Is that a put down? No! It is the truth, and in that truth we are set free from the power of our flesh in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

Mankind is not charged with restoring the truth of God that cannot perish in the incorruptible life of Christ Jesus, its not their job! It is Christ job as the last prophet of God to speak the truth to us, not the other way around. Moreover, its not charged to everyone reading their bibles, but to those in him, that is, in his body as their perfect truthful head of the congregation that speak the truth by the Spirit of God.

11.

Heb. 1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his

Ephesians 2:22 in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Ephesians 4:3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

Ephesians 5:9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.

Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

1 Thessalonians 4:8 Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

1 John 5:6 This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

Truth is not going to be played with in Christ or based upon the power of any flesh. It is done, finished, in Christ by God giving Christ an indestructible life. There no other name we can be taught the truth by, but in Christ indestructible life.

12.
Flesh can deny this, claiming they have restore truth, they can claim being God's faithful and discreet servant all they want, they can take Christ position and headship by man made religion for all those loving the lie.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

But none can bind Christ, or take his indestructible life that God has given freely to his body members. That kingdom is not shakable by human events or teachings! It is factual an unshakable kingdom that all of God's children receive at their birth into Christ Jesus indestructible life.

Heb.12:28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can't be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, 12:29 for our God is a consuming fire.{Deuteronomy 4:24}

If one is perishing it is because they are in sins of their flesh seeking the glory of mankind in its governments, religions, and/or commerce, which are clearly in the hands of wicked spirit force.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

If they are in Christ they have been put to death in their flesh, that is, its corruption under judgment and made alive in Christ where no flesh exist or its judgment, and they are being taught by Holy Spirit.

1 John 2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.{Or, "know what is true." Or, "know all things."}

13.

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

God's children are no part of this world fleshly corruption created from the first lie. They are just as Christ our truth stated born not of flesh but of God's Spirit. Not one is missing, not one of God's household haven't received the truth and an everlasting kingdom.

2 Timothy 2:19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his,"{Numbers 16:5} and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord{TR reads "Christ" instead of "the Lord"} depart from unrighteousness."

They cannot say they have restored the truth, for they are not in their own work, but in Christ as his body members doing the work of Christ their vine. They direct nothing, direction comes from above in the Master headship, and his Kingly power. They follow Christ where ever he goes in Spirit and truth.

They are tested in their dead flesh not under judgment, and Christ separates the lie of the flesh from the incorruptible truth of God, which is a test by fire. They humbly accept this constant discipline as their calling not exulting themselves as does the thief of the flesh in adding to God's word for some self-glory or gain in this world for human recognition.
14.
John.15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. 15:8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

Rom.10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
10:3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 0:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

1Cor.3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours, 3:22 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. All are yours,
3:23 and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
