He’s made evil so tempting and our senses are so dulled

John
{15:26} But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me
{15:27} And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning

**
Spirit of truth.
God is truth.
Jesus is truth.

You think we can gloss over truth? We can't. Knowing the truth and living the truth in Christ is reality.

The truth is His love.

We've learned so much about the truth- Let me recap some of the titles of my blogs on truth:

We have to grasp the truth beyond feeling.
Declaring His truth, His love for us.
Christ is our truth, He is our shield and buckler, our protection.
The '****TRUTH***' in Psalms.
As we seek the truth and to walk in it.
Serve him in truth with all your heart.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life.


Jesus is the truth. Jesus is love. Jesus is God with us, sent to redeem us, sent to save us from our sins. Jesus, God becoming man and bringing with Him Grace and Truth.

We need Jesus, we need the truth.

Jesus said--

John
{16:7}Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
{16:8} And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
{16:9} Of sin, because they believe not on me;
{16:10} Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
{16:11} Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
{16:12} I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
{16:13} Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear,
[that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
{16:14} He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
{16:15} All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.
{16:16} A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Jesus is telling us the truth- He has to go away, if he didn't go the comforter couldn't come to us.

The comforter is the Spirit of truth.

The comforter will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment-

Reproved of sin why? Because they don't believe in Jesus. Jesus is truth.
Righteousness, because Jesus goes to his Father. Jesus is truth.
Judgment because the prince of this world is judged.

Jesus said, the spirit of truth will come and guide unto all truth. The spirit of truth will glorify Jesus. Jesus glorifies the Father. This is truth.

Jesus is the way the truth and the life, Jesus sends the spirit of truth to us and the truth is found in the love of God in sending us His Son Jesus.

You say you accept Jesus Christ, enough all ready about the truth, you know the truth so give it a rest.

We can't give it a rest, there is never enough. When we stop trumpeting the truth, when we stop wanting to hear truth what are we suspectible to? Falsehoods.

When Christ comes again to take us with Him we will live with Him, the truth forever and ever, in the love of God. Our lives will be all truth, all love.

Right now we have such a warped idea of what love is.

Satan has corrupted us so much he's made love seem boring and his evil the exciting thing. He's made evil so tempting and our senses are so dulled that we believe that it is more exciting to entertain ourselves with horror, to delve into the dark sides of life, we can't get enough of the sordid why is that? Why?!

Satan is the prince of this world.

John {12:31} Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

Satan rules this world and has twisted our senses so fully we call evil good and good evil. We can't imagine being happy in a world of good so we embrace our evil and forsake the truth.

May God help us all, may our twisted senses be straightened by the Holy Spirit of Truth, our Comforter through the grace of Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, Son of God. Amen.

We need the truth now and always.

God help us all.
