Perception of Truth

The Bible says that the truth shall set you free. There is a misconception of this very statement by Christians around the world from various denominations.

What I am about to share is extremely potent truth that is not watered down. It is potent and there will be no chaser behind it.

It isn't for those thin skinned individuals who as Jack Nicholson said you want to know the truth you can't handle the truth.

There are lies being preached by preachers directly from the pulpit concerning God. I know that is a strong accusation to bring up but it is what it is. It is the truth.

There is a perception of truth that people are taught called Once Saved Always Saved.

The perception of truth goes like this when you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you are saved. There is nothing else for you to do or say you are once saved and always saved.

That is a lie.

King Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived & walked on this earth declares in Ecclesiastes 12:13 " Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

The perception of truth says that the ten commandments were nailed to the Cross when Jesus died on Calvary.

That is a lie.

The only things that was nailed to the cross was the ceremonial law which called for slaying of sacrificial lambs and animals to wash away our sins. Jesus shed His blood on Calvary to wash away our sins.

This is why John the Baptist said to the masses while Jesus passed by "behold the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world."

If you still having a problem with the perception of the truth?

Ask the Apostle Paul. For Paul declares in

Hebrews 7:18-25 (New King James Version)

¹⁸ For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

²⁰ And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath ²¹ (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:


“ The LORD has sworn
And will not relent,

‘ You are a priest forever^a]">[a]
According to the order of Melchizedek’”),^b]">[b]

²² by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
²³ Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. ²⁴ But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. ²⁵ Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

When people believe the perception of truth they get cloudy vision. The perception of truth is not the truth but a faulty perception of the truth. Millions of people will be lost because of their perception of the truth. The truth is strong medicine. The truth is thus saith the Lord. The truth is clearer than a bright sunshiny day.

The truth is unadulterated, self explanatory, Holy Ghost instructed and Holy Ghost convicting.

For the apostle Paul declares in Hebrews 4:12

"For the word of God is quick , and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

It hurts sometimes when you find out the truth. I can recall years ago being in love with a young lady. I loved her unconditionally giving one hundred percent of my love to her. I was in love. My perception of the truth was that she loved me the same way that I loved her.

As time went on I fell deeper in love with her. The more I gave of myself and my time. Before long it was time for the both of us to make a decision on where our relationship was going and I just knew we were going to take the next step.

Guess what happened?

The relationship disintegrated faster than you could say my full name. You want to know why?
It disintegrated because she didn't love me the way I loved her. My plan was to take it to the next level while hers was to get out while she could. I was dead wrong because of my perception of the truth.

The truth was she was just not that into me as I was into her. I was hoodwinked and bamboozled. Hoodwinked and bamboozled by my own perception of the truth.

The perception of truth can lead you down the wrong path, it can be heartbreaking, and it can obliterate you. The truth shall set you free and it will empower your life as well as reinvent your life.

I'm glad I know the truth now. I have stop settling for the perception of truth because the perception of truth can cause you to miss out on salvation and hinder from the kingdom of heaven.

God wants you to know the truth.

For the word of God declares in the book of Revelation 22:14,15
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever maketh a lie.

Making it to heaven requires us to live a life that is submissive to God. A life where we hear the truth, see the truth, follow the truth, making it a lifestyle and the cornerstone of our Christianity. For to be like Christ means to live like He lived.
