What is True?

Micah 3-Part 2

LET IT GLOW

1 John 5:10-12 says, He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made Him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son.

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

We are told to believe  a matter is true when their are 2 or 3 witnesses of it. God's testimony is the greatest. God gives believers in Jesus eternal life. We know this because God proclaimed it, so it is true. However, those who do not believe in Jesus does not have heaven to look forward to, because it is God's ticket into heaven-Jesus who shed His blood for us.

Have you believed in Jesus as the Messiah and Savior? Have you asked Him to forgive your sins? If so, then you have eternal life ahead in heaven!

It is not what we have done, but what Jesus did for us. He gave His very own life for us. No greater love is this.

LET IT GROW

Punishment was coming for two groups of people in Israel, the leaders and prophets.  The leaders hated good and loved evil, thinking only of themselves. The prophets were false prophets, who:

• lead the people astray;(verse 5)
• promised peace to those who gave them food, but declared war upon those who refused;
• instead of pleasing God, they sought to please the people;
• would have no message nor vision from God; (verse 6)
• gave their own message of self-interests and self-preservation.

We need to be careful as to whom we listen and study under. Be sure to check their words with The Word of God. Do they match or are they different?

In verse 8, Micah says, but truly, I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgressions, and to Israel his sin.

Micah was called by God to speak with authority, calling sin what it was-sin. A kingdom man relies upon the Holy Spirit's power and hears His message.

Jesus told His followers they would receive power to witness about Him when the Holy Spirit came on them. (Acts 1:8) We cannot witness effectively by relying on our own strength, for fear will keep us from speaking out for God. Only by relying on the power of the Holy Spirit can we live and witness for Him.

Are we?
