Matthew 7:7-8 – 7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Why is no one going to be able to plead ignorance that has reached a point of accountability?
Matthew mentions it above. If you seek the Lord and truth He will reveal it to you. It’s my favorite scripture. The reason it is, is because I used to be one of the lazy Christians who ask to be forgiven and then never sought the Truth.
The Lord doesn’t want anyone to perish, but He doesn’t want a bunch of blind followers who don’t want to seek Him or His Truth. It’s not about getting the get out of free jail card and then living anyway you want.
Matthew 6:33 – 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
The Lord makes it clear. Put Him first. No, really, make Him first.
Matthew 6:24 – 24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
There is a serious problem in the world and especially in America when it comes to serving finances. How many put their time in their finances more than in the Lord?
Our relationship grows by seeking God and His Son. Our faith grows by reading His Word and discovering the truth of it when we look around.
We need to earnestly seek God is what He asks. What happens for those who do? They find. What do they find? The Truth! Why is the Truth important?
John 14:6 – 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 8:31-32 – 31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
If we don’t make it a point to seek the Truth then we are jeopardy of being swept away by the untruths or lies.
In the last days there is great falling away and I believe it’s because people don’t care about truth. They are happy with just making the truth whatever they want it to be.
Seek truth. Ask, seek, knock. He will open the door. I’ll vouch for that personally.
