Did you know that you are a slave to whatever you believe? That's right. Whatever you believe will guide your life and draw you in its direction.
This makes believing the truth pretty important, doesn't it? Why? Because if you believe a lie--or more than one--you will go more deeply into slavery. But if you believe the truth, you will be set free.
In fact, Jesus Himself said this: "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). So, the next question is, What is the truth?
The Truth is a Person, and His Name is Jesus Christ. When Thomas asked Jesus where He was going and how to get there, Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14: 6).
Jesus is also the Word of God, which means that when you study the Bible, you are actually studying Jesus and getting to know Him. He and His Word are one and the same.
As you study the Bible, you will discover truth. The truth will reveal the lies you are believing. Anything that does not agree with the Bible is a lie.
For example, let's say you believe that you are here by chance and have no purpose in life. Then you read Psalm 139 in the Bible that tells you you are awesomely made and are here for a purpose. At that moment, you recognize that you have been believing a lie.
So, what you should do? You should renounce the lie, repent of it, and embrace the truth you just read in the Bible.
As you study God's Word, He will show you the lies you are believing. As you recognize each lie, renounce it, repent of it, and embrace the truth that revealed the lie to you. The more you do this, the freer you will be.
Now, it's YOUR TURN: What lies have you been believing? Chances are good that others reading this have been believing the same lies. So, let's share with your fellow Gabriel Girls and encourage them to be set free, too! You can post your comments in the box below. Thanks! We're eagerly waiting to hear from you. Your opinion matters!
