THE WORD, the truth

Titus 1:1-3

This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives.

This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.


The sender, the deliverer and the message. The Sender is the Heavenly Father, the deliverer are those who He has saved and called and the message is eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son.


2 Corinthians 5:19-21

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.


Thus though He was held as a prisoner, he could not be stopped from carrying the message, because NO ONE can stop God's work:


Acts 28:30-31

For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him,

boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.


So who is that person who tries to fault the message, that is collaborated by many, authenticated by the Heavenly Father Himself and revealed by the Holy Spirit.


See in many religions today, the message is centered on one man, who claimed to receive revelation from heaven or an angel, today they try to use the bible to convince themselves and others that the revelation is true. But scriptures do not need collaboration from other books, NO:


John 17:17

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.


2 Corinthians 13:8

For we cannot oppose the truth, but must always stand for the truth.

John 14:6

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.


It does not need a particular language or a particular way of saying it to make it true (what a mundane), He is powerful in Himself, for the Word of God is actually a person bigger than angels, God Himself:


Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.


My believing and your belief is not what authenticated HIM, HE is TRUE:


John 1:1-4

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He existed in the beginning with God.

God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.


In John chapter 5, Christ was speaking to the Jewish leaders about Himself, but they were so blinded as some are blinded today:


John 5:34,36-37,39,45-47

Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved.

But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me.

And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face,

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

“Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes.

If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”


Simple, if You don't see Christ in all scriptures you are yet to understand scriptures. Selah.


So hold on to truth and live in the power of the only one truth. Don't spend time in the unnecessary argument, instead DO the work of an evangelist and fulfil ministry.


He calls us blessed.
