Have you ever said or heard the phrase, "Truth hurts"? Maybe it has hurt you or maybe it will for a moment, but the truth is...Truth is meant to make us holy, not hurt us.
Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6); therefore we cannot possibly be holy without Jesus. This is why knowing His Word, which is Truth, is so important. The more we read His Word, the more we know who Jesus is. He becomes the way, the truth, and the life for us. And what does that life look like? Holy.
By nature, we don’t live in Truth. It takes intentionality to do so. It takes us pursuing Truth, studying Truth, and intimately drawing Truth in so that we may be freed by Truth (see John 8:32) and so that we may become holy by Truth.
Spend just five minutes today (or more!), if you haven't already done so, reading His Word (I recommend starting with 1 Peter 1). Let God love you and free you as you read His Truth so that you know in your heart that the truth is...you are holy.
