FAITHFUL SAYING – ABOUT FACT AND TRUTH: THE OVERRIDING OF – “THE FACTS OF LIFE ABOUT YOU” WITH “THE TRUTH OF LIFE ABOUT YOU”!
“It is a FAITHFUL saying: For if we be DEAD with him, we shall also LIVE with him: 12 if we SUFFER, we shall also REIGN with him: if we DENY him, he also will DENY us: 13 if we BELIEVE NOT, yet he ABIDETH FAITHFUL: He CANNOT DENY Himself” 2 Timothy 2:11-13.
As important as FACTS are, in our way of DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, what can sets one’s life THRIVING, BLOSSOMING REFRESHING and REJUVENATING in an onward and upward trajectory, is THE TRUTH that one possess in one’s life in Christ Jesus stead. THE TRUTH gives the enabling that one needs, in order to have a complete and an unreserved freedom and placement in life in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
There is a great difference between FACT and the TRUTH in our way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. The Difference in matters of the FACTS and the TRUTH principles can be summed up in these few constructions but not at all limited:
** FACTS can say you will die, while THE TRUTH says you will live.
** FACTS can say you will fail, while THE TRUTH says you will thrive and succeed.
** FACTS can say you are not good enough, THE TRUTH says you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you.
** FACTS can say you are hopeless and a complete failure with all the available proofs beyond human understanding, while THE TRUTH says, you can and will succeed because with God “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT”
It’s very important for one to know full well, that in all matters of doing Life and living godly, life is so simple and simplified by God, and not complex and compounded, as we sometimes do think and have made it be. I hereby employ you to consider the following KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING:
*** That Jesus is THE TRUTH. And knowing and having THE TRUTH is knowing and having life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. John 14:6; John 8:32; 2 Peter 1:2-4.
*** That God’s ‘FAITHFUL SAYINGS’ to one in the Holy Scriptures makes ALL the difference in one’s matters of doing life and living godly. And that God’s FAITHFUL SAYING transcends and surpasses, informs and transforms, defines and places one beyond human FACTS and FIGURES – Acts 20:32; Hebrews 4:12-13; John 1:1-5, 14.
Knowing the above concept therefore, I admonish you to give ATTENTION and INCLINE your hearing ears to God’s FAITHFUL SAYINGS about you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; this is in order to envelope the wisdom nuggets that is needed to both LIVE, TRIUMPH, OVERCOME, be VICTORIOUS and a MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in every place in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Corinthians 2:14 and 1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 8:37 and 1 John 5:3-5.
