True Christians Would Never Initiate, Support, or Believe a Lie

Many believers are taught that grace is the ultimate goal in the salvation of Jesus Christ and their walk in faith. That Jesus’s offering of grace saves them from their sins and guarantees them a trip to His kingdom. But they neglect one of Jesus’s most crucial commands, which is knowing and walking in the truth.

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.

Yes, the grace of Jesus Christ can deliver many souls from the condemnation of sin and is a promise of God by His mercy that a soul can be saved through His grace. But the scripture above has truth as an addition to God’s grace. Jesus walked in the power of saving grace but He also walked in truth.

No believer in Christ can ignore the essence of truth in their walk with Christ. They can rest on His mercy of grace but without truth, they will fall from grace and to deceit. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6.

In order to take advantage of His grace, one must also acknowledge the truth in all matters. The truth as in His word, they must believe, and the truth in matters of real-life concerning deception and lies told by false prophets, social leaders, even friends and family members.

Common lies such as people accused and convicted of crimes but ignored by those confronted with the truth. Family members or friends who seek to deceive and have deceived in finances, rumors and accusations that are not true. Believers must acknowledge that someone close to them has lied to them or on them.

A believe cannot merely brush off lies that have been exposed by God or stay silent when the lies have been exposed as a lie. We are taught through the Word that the Spirit will bring the truth to your soul and mind and we must trust in God’s word of truth over the lust of our flesh no matter how much we want to believe and support the lie.

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” John 4:23.

The truth is sown into us by the Holy Spirit and if we deny that truth, we fall from grace. Many church and political leaders today have hatched lie after lie into society knowingly, deceiving millions of people. They have sown discord and strife between groups of people and amplify the lies over and over until they become truth to those who have no sense of discernment. These are not true believers, but opportunist with an agenda to deceive the nation.

“But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.” 1 John 2:20, 21.

The truth is important to the soul and mind of a believer regardless of how that truth may disturb the believer. They have to see things as they really are and not as they would like them to be. Otherwise, they have betrayed Christ, disowned His truth, and fallen from the mercy of God’s grace.
