John 8:44

“He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Two of the of the greatest weapons Satan has in his armory are guilt and shame. And he wields them generously. He whose name means Accuser does just that, whispering in our ears that we are unclean, unforgivable, unworthy, and unloved. He delights in reminding us of our past sins. Constantly he tries to inject our hearts with feelings of doubts about God’s truth and love. And when we give him even an inch of opening, he takes full advantage. He’ll turn that inch into a mile; taking up residence and building destructive strongholds in our minds. But He is a liar and not to be believed. And so we must cling to the truth of the Lord. Jesus while hanging on the Cross says with His final breath, “It is finished!” (John 19:39) Our Savior declared all of our sins, past, present, and future, paid in full; forgiven forever. Because of His shed blood we are deemed righteous, no matter what the Enemy tries to tell us.

November 30 – 1 John 5:11

1 John 5:11

I am thankful that the evidence of the gospel is all around me

Evangelist Ray Comfort wrote, “Atheists who keep asking for evidence of God’s existence are like a fish in the ocean wanting evidence of water.” When witnesses testify in court they swear to to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth. But unfortunately we know that people and their promises can’t always be trusted. That’s not the case with God. We can trust that He is always true, honest, and faithful to keep His word. Throughout the Old Testament we read the glorious testimony of God promising a Messiah who would come to save the world. And that promise came true with the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And the evidence to back it up? God Himself, Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the internal witness of the Holy Spirit. All testify that Christ is the One and only Son of God. And those who reject this testimony are in fact calling God a liar.
