Every serious believer is on a pursuit—a pursuit of truth. Jesus Himself promised that the truth will set us free. But here’s the challenge: discovering the truth is not always as simple as reading a Scripture verse and immediately applying it.
When we read Scripture, we interpret it in light of our understanding. And often, our interpretation becomes our version of truth. But that doesn’t always mean it is the truth. Too many times, we end up clinging to our perception of God’s Word, only to discover it doesn’t bring the results He promised. When that happens, discouragement can creep in. We may even feel as though God hasn’t been faithful to His Word—when in reality, we’ve been holding onto an interpretation instead of His reality.
In Hebrew, the word translated “truth” is closely tied to “reality.” That means truth is not just information—it’s something we experience. God’s reality is alive, powerful, and transformational. Consider healing: we don’t fully understand the truth about healing until we actually experience it firsthand. Truth unfolds like a journey—beginning with hearing, moving into believing, growing into understanding, then applying, and finally producing fruit—the living reality of God at work in our lives.
This week’s message, “Fifty Faces of the Truth,” will take you deeper into this life-changing journey. Together, we’ll explore how to move beyond intellectual knowledge and step into God’s living reality—the truth that transforms.
