Christian Truth Every Believer Must Know
Often in our life we reach crossroads and don’t know which path to choose. This dilemma often leads to poor decisions which we regret all our lives. What can act as a guiding start on such occasions and what can lead us to in the right path. It is without any iota of doubt ‘truth of scripture’ and deep understanding of the virtues of our great religion. Knowing Christian truth and following the path of Lord Jesus Christ guarantees a life of peaceful existence and prosperity. Here are some scriptural truths which every believer must know.
- Forgiveness – The Holy Bible teaches us the art of forgiveness. Colossians 3:13 says “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Forgiving one another spreads the message of love and brotherhood. This is the fundamental element on which the humanity can survive without causing harm to each other. According to Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”
- Love – God wants all his followers to love other and the truth is God is just another form of love. Bible teaches us to have love and respect for each other and the truth shows God is the embodiment of love. According to John 4:16 “God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. You should love everyone and not just people who love them for that would be selfishness. It has rightly been put by Luke 6:30 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even ‘sinners’ love those who love them.”
- Fellowship – Every believer has a fellowship with God. It is a happy relationship between God as our Father and us as His children. According to the truth of scripture we can hear what he has to say to by His Spirit through His Word. This fellowship is not just between us and God but with all those who believe in him. John 1:6-7 says “If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
Holy Spirit – To guide us in our life and help us live piously God gave us His Holy Spirit to live in our hearts. The Holy Spirit acts as a guiding star in our lives and every believer should count on the Lord to help us take each and every step in life. According to Ephesians 4:30 “And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” Strong belief in the Holy Spirit also helps us stay away from the strong desires which can demean our lives.
