THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH

2 Timothy 3:1-7 

This Know Also, That In The Last Days Perilous Times Shall Come. For Men Shall Be Lovers Of Their Own Selves, Covetous, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient To Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, Without Natural Affection, Trucebreakers, False Accusers, Incontinent, Fierce, Despisers Of Those That Are Good, Traitors, Heady, Highminded, Lovers Of Pleasures More Than Lovers Of God; Having A Form Of Godliness, But Denying The Power Thereof: From Such Turn Away. For Of This Sort Are They Which Creep Into Houses, And Lead Captive Silly Women Laden With Sins, Led Away With Divers Lusts, Ever Learning, And Never Able To Come To The Knowledge Of The Truth.

James 1:5-8 

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom, Let Him Ask Of God, That Giveth To All Men Liberally, And Upbraideth Not; And It Shall Be Given Him. But Let Him Ask In Faith, Nothing Wavering. For He That Wavereth Is Like A Wave Of The Sea Driven With The Wind And Tossed. For Let Not That Man Think That He Shall Receive Any Thing Of The Lord. A Double Minded Man Is Unstable In All His Ways.

Romans 6:4-11,17-18,20,22-23 

Therefore We Are Buried With Him By Baptism Into Death: That Like As Christ Was Raised Up From The Dead By The Glory Of The Father, Even So We Also Should Walk In Newness Of Life. For If We Have Been Planted Together In The Likeness Of His Death, We Shall Be Also In The Likeness Of His Resurrection: Knowing This, That Our Old Man Is Crucified With Him, That The Body Of Sin Might Be Destroyed, That Henceforth We Should Not Serve Sin. For He That Is Dead Is Freed From Sin. Now If We Be Dead With Christ, We Believe That We Shall Also Live With Him: Knowing That Christ Being Raised From The Dead Dieth No More; Death Hath No More Dominion Over Him. For In That He Died, He Died Unto Sin Once: But In That He Liveth, He Liveth Unto God. Likewise Reckon Ye Also Yourselves To Be Dead Indeed Unto Sin, But Alive Unto God Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. 

[17] But God Be Thanked, That Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, But Ye Have Obeyed From The Heart That Form Of Doctrine Which Was Delivered You. Being Then Made Free From Sin, Ye Became The Servants Of Righteousness. 

[20] For When Ye Were The Servants Of Sin, Ye Were Free From Righteousness. 

[22] But Now Being Made Free From Sin, And Become Servants To God, Ye Have Your Fruit Unto Holiness, And The End Everlasting Life. For The Wages Of Sin Is Death; But The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

If Any Of You Lack Wisdom, Let Him Ask Of God, be careful who you go to for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. Not everyone knows the answer. If they have not Prayed, Searched The Holy Scriptures and sought God for the answer, don't fully trust their answers. There are a lot of so-called Preachers and Teachers of The Gospel,  that are hirelings,  they are in it for the money and notoriety.  

JOHN 10:11-14 

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVETH HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. BUT HE THAT IS AN HIRELING, AND NOT THE SHEPHERD, WHOSE OWN THE SHEEP ARE NOT, SEETH THE WOLF COMING, AND LEAVETH THE SHEEP, AND FLEETH: AND THE WOLF CATCHETH THEM, AND SCATTERETH THE SHEEP. THE HIRELING FLEETH, BECAUSE HE IS AN HIRELING, AND CARETH NOT FOR THE SHEEP. I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, AND KNOW MY SHEEP, AND AM KNOWN OF MINE.
