The absolute truth

Throughout the Bible, it's clear that Satan is a crafty liar. We only need to scan Genesis 3 to see it. He loves when we believe stuff that can destroy our understanding of God's truth. He wants us to think we're not smart enough, not funny enough, not thin enough, not 'normal' enough. He wants us to go through life believing those things, thinking we're insignificant or forgotten. It all starts with his wrecking-ball of a whisper that says, 'Who you are, and what you do, is not enough.' Let's not believe the lies!

The only truth is found in Jesus, and it's exactly the opposite to what Satan tells us. Jesus has made it so that who we are, exactly as we are, right now, matters. Because of Jesus, who we are and what we do has the power to shake the world, in the best possible way.

We must know that we are loved, and made holy, because of Jesus. God is always there to tell us that. His word is always speaking to us, reminding us that, in his eyes, we are worth the highest price. That, in fact, we are priceless to God.



So what now? Read Ephesians 1:3-10. Read it again. Let the truth of these words sink in. God chooses you, every day. He loves you, every second. And, through Jesus, he forgets your mess, loves you past all your problems and insecurities and sees you as 'blameless', for eternity (Ephesians 1:4 NIV). Thank God for his truth!
