Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Doing truth.
Truth.
We've talked about truth a lot because it's incredibly important. There are truths and lies, nothing else. There is nothing in between those two though many will tell you there is a lot between truth and lies. I'm not saying life doesn't have a lot of gray areas, it does but those gray areas should never compromise the ultimate truth and lie of a situation.
We cannot call lies - truth, and the opposite is true as well, we cannot call truth - lies. If we dare to subvert the truth then we will reap the punishment that results.
Satan is the father of lies.
Satan is the opposite of truth.
Our Savior is truth.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jesus is the truth.
If we do the truth we are doing what our Savior would do.
We come to the LIGHT and the LIGHT will reveal our deeds.
We can hide NOTHING from God, not a single thing. Everything is revealed to our God.
If we are a true child of God then we WANT all our deeds to be manifested, all of our deeds. We want the good deeds to be shown that we find our good IN HIM, through HIS GOODNESS. We want our evil deeds to be known so we can ask for forgiveness, so we can repent of them.
We can't HIDE from God so even bothering to try is completely pointless. Yet people do try to hide their deeds from God. When they believe in God and they believe that they will be judged by Him, they often do try to hide their evil, thinking that if they hide it then it won't matter as much. It matters, it matters a lot. More often than not though, people who even believe in God and that they will be judged by Him, believe that He will forgive them everything no matter what it is and they don't even have to think about it much. They don't have to seek true repentance and forgiveness because they believe that God understands and won't fault them for their weakness, their sins.
We are told by Christ Himself to not sin, that sinning is wrong. He says over and over- 'Go and sin no more.' He does not say- 'Go and try to sin no more.' He does not say- 'Go and don't worry about sinning.' He does not say- 'I forgave you once so all is good, you're forgiven for anything you do in the future.' He SAYS- 'GO AND SIN NO MORE.'
He is the LIGHT, He is the TRUTH and all our actions need to be revealed to Him, and we need to reveal them WILLINGLY.
Just as a parent who knows their child has done wrong hopes that child will confess that wrong to them rather than their having to confront them with it- God wants us to confess NOT to hide our evil deeds and YES our sins are evil, we CANNOT pretty them up, they are EVIL.
Joh 3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
If we do TRUTH - all that Jesus has told us we are to do in HIM- then we come to the LIGHT- we come to HIM- and our deeds are revealed and if we are doing those deeds in TRUTH it will be revealed that they are WROUGHT IN GOD.
We must do TRUTH.
3Jn_1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
2Jn_1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
JESUS- we must live with JESUS in us, as a REAL part of our LIFE!
IN HIS LOVE! ALWAYS IN HIS TRUTH!
