Truth Demonstrated
May 26, 2008 by zgardener
Once we accept the truth, how can we demonstrate it in our lives when our senses and the entire environment seems to contradict it? We must have enough faith in what we know to act it out in our daily lives. We must act as though it is true, take the leap of faith and practice it regardless of the apparent circumstances or perceived limitations. That does mean jump off a building expecting not to fall. It means to accept God’s leadership, follow Jesus’ teachings and apply them to your every thought, word and deed. Judge not, return love for hate, put others first and the list goes on. None of these things are easy things to do. In fact, they are only possible because the ultimate power of the universe makes them possible. Not good enough to do this? Neither is anyone else without turning to God and putting him first. Then the spirit of truth will demonstrate all things.
In the spirit,

Truth never changes, but what we have to deal with on this plane is man’s apprehension of the Truth, and throughout historical time, this has been steadily and continuously becoming more plain to us.
Jesus Christ summed up this Truth, taught it completely and thoroughly, and, above all, demonstrated it in his own person. Most of us now can glimpse intellectually the idea of what it must mean in its fullness. To accept the Truth is the great first step, but not until we have proved it in doing is it ours. Jesus proved everything that he taught, even to the overcoming of death in what we call the resurrection. By surmounting every sort of limitation to which mankind is subject, he performed a work of unique and incalculable value to the race, and is therefore justly entitled the Savior of the world.
…when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth…(John 16:13).
