THE TRUTH IN US

1 John 2:3-4

Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him.  But whoever keeps his word, the love of God is truly perfected in him.

As a child, we are all hungry for knowledge.  We would believe whatever our teacher or our parents would tell us.  For us, these are “gospel” truths simply because we trust them and that they are telling the truth.

And yet, when someone starts preaching us about God’s gift of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ, we would prefer to think about it the more than just believing on it outright.

We all knew about the commandments of God, and still, we break at least one of them, telling ourselves that one would not hurt.

Why?  Is it because we simply do not believe that God really exist?  Or yes, we do, but our hardened heart simply pushes away God from our being?

Whatever the reasons are, we do need to keep God in our hearts and follow his words and commandments.  We cannot always say that I would just ask for forgiveness tomorrow… for tonight, you may not wake up.

Take that path towards perfection… we may not all be perfect, but with God in our heart, everything would be done in perfection.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, blessed are we, because we have known You!  Blessed are we, because we have believed in You!  Blessed are we, because we bear Your wounds and the sign of Your Blood on our contenances!  Blessed are we, because You are our great hope!  Blessed are we, because You are our God forever!  Amen +

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice!
