Trusting God’s Word
Jesus on the Witness Stand
Do you ever wonder who you can believe? One person says one thing and another claims the opposite.
Yes, it can sometimes be difficult to know who to believe, but that is not the case when Jesus speaks.
Revelation 1:5 describes Jesus Christ as “the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood.”
Jesus is a faithful witness.
A witness of what?
Jesus witnessed to us about heaven, His Father, angels, crowns of righteousness awaiting believers, resurrection bodies, thrones, powers, kingdoms, the judgment seat, forgiveness, redemption, His Father’s house, and about Satan.
Jesus testified about the fact that Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jonah were real people and that the Old Testament is true.
Our confidence in the Bible and its teachings solidly rests on Christ because He is a faithful witness to us that they are true.
Lord Jesus, I praise You, the faithful WITNESS! Thank You for the confidence I have in the Bible and in You because of Your word.

Is There Anyone You Can Trust?
The truth. When listening to the news do you ever long for the truth? When questioning a child, have you ever doubted their words and said, “Tell me the truth.” If a person has lied to you once, do you wonder when they tell you something if it’s the truth?
How refreshing that in John 16:13 Jesus tells us we can trust God’s Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. There’s not a lie in God’s holy body, Word, or Spirit.
“But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come” (John 16:13).
Since the Bible is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), we can trust it is the truth—the eternal truth that does not change.
When we wonder if we should do things our way, the world’s way, or God’s way, we have the answer. Believe God, the Spirit of Truth. Follow the Spirit of Truth. Obey the Spirit of Truth.
Lord God, how refreshing that I can wholeheartedly trust You, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH!
