The idea of eternity lives in all of us. We thirst to live in a belief which raises our small personality to a higher coherence – a coherence which is human and yet superhuman, absolute and yet steadily growing and developing, ideal and yet real. • Christian Lous Lange

It is virtually impossible to keep track of an ongoing lie. Conversely, it is no problem keeping track of the truth. Truth sets a person free. Nothing to keep track of, it is what it is. When Jesus, the truth sets us free, we are free indeed.
People who are of God, hear what God has to say. They listen to Jesus. People willfully forget what God has to say and do their own thing. Tragically, there is an end that is coming and while we may think that is not the case, it is because God does not look at time in the same way as we do.
One of the irrefutable truths of God, is that the soul who sins will die. We also know that all have sinned and there is not one who does good. However, we also know, that if a man turns from his sins, keeps the Lord’s statutes (all directed towards Jesus) he will live!
Let us praise God that through Jesus we live!
Oh Lord, we love how clearly your word speaks of truth. We find great comfort in the truth because Jesus is the truth. Help us this day to walk in the truth and to exude a gratitude for our salvation that others might ask us about it. In Jesus’ name…Amen!
