Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things. – Proverbs 28:5

Confusion is caused more by prejudice than logic. Unwillingness to release precious ideas, pride, or action(inaction) prevent an honest assessment. That honest assessment is all God is asking.

Truth can be discovered by those who want to know and who are willing to act on what they learn.

“Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.” – Jesus (John 7:17 New Living Translation)

Dallas Willard, in his book, “Renovation of the Heart” makes this point:

“[T]he confusion now publicly prevailing over the makeup of the human being may not be due to its inherent obscurity. Rather, it may be due to the fact that it is a field where strongly armed prejudices—assumptions about what must be the case, “don’t bother me with facts”—prevent even well-intended people from seeing what, at least in basic outline, is fairly obvious, simple, and straightforward”.1

If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins…[but] If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. – John 8:24,31-32

The last sentence of this verse if often quoted out of context and, taken out of context, it is not always accurate. Truth can bring prison not freedom! Truth can bring condemnation not acceptance! Truth can be a fearful thing because the truth is that there is no one truly innocent and to quote a famous line from a recent movie, also out of context, “You can’t handle the truth!”

But those in Christ can! Those who have accepted the truth that Jesus died for their sins are not afraid because along with the truth of their sins is the truth of payment for those sins.- Fritz@langgang.com
