PAY THE PRICE FOR THE TRUTH
BIBLE READING: DEUTERONOMY 32:4; PSALM 25:5; PSALM 43:3; JOHN 18:37
"Buy the Truth, and do not sell it, Also Wisdom and Instruction and Understanding." Proverbs 23:23(NKJV)
In these End Times, there is undoubtedly an increasing need for all Christian believers to be discerning and watchful. This is very important because according to the Scriptures, the Number One Sign of the Second Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ is the rise of the spirit of deception (Matt. 24:3). So many professing Christians are succumbing to error at such an alarming rate hence the importance of paying the full price for the Truth.
The Holy Bible refers to the Body of Christ, which is the Church of the Living God, as "the Pillar and Ground of theTruth" (1Tim. 3:15b). Simply put, genuine seekers of Truth would always find a Safe Haven in the Presence of the Lord. When the Scriptures admonish us to buy the Truth, (Prov. 23:23) the implication is that knowing and receiving the Aforementioned Truth comes at a cost. Apart from the monetary value in the case of buying Spiritual material like relevant books and messages to augment whatever we study in the Scripture, there is also the additional cost of convenience, time and a paradigm shift. The Bible states unequivocally in absolutely clear terms: "Why is there in the hand of a fool THE PURCHASE PRICE OF WISDOM, since he has no heart for it?" Prov. 17:16(NKJV).
Your entire life is a reflection of your choices while your choices are a clear reflection of your priorities. The onus therefore lies upon us as Christian believers and custodians of the Truth to place the utmost value on obtaining this Same Truth. The Scriptures remind us that the lips of the priest should keep knowledge so that men would seek it from our mouths (Mal. 2:7). Let us therefore take full responsibility and pay the required price for the Truth of God's Word and remain wholly sanctified by
