Living in Freedom Transformed by His Truth

The Transforming Truth of Jesus His truth sets us free >Seeking, knowing, applying, telling > Frees us from the power and guilt of sin > Builds a foundation of trust and peace with God & others > Enables us to discover and creatively fulfill our purpose

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Truth Definition:Accurate understanding of the real world, and our calling and purpose in it – in contrast to illusion or fantasy. John 18:37 Jesus replied, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world – to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Truth Barriers: > Deception > Assumption > Orthodoxy/ Tradition > Denial > Shame > Fear > Intellect > Culture, myth > Perception

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Building a Foundation of Truth John 8:31, 32 If you abide in my word, then you are my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in me – and I in him – bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Building a Foundation of Truth Ps 51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom. Ps 85:10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Ps 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Spirit of Truth John 14:16, 17, 26 Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever –the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you. (He) will teach you everything, and will cause you to remember everything I said to you. 1Cor 2:16 But we have the mind of Christ.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Unity in Truth John 17:21, 23 The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one –I in them and you in me – that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Unity in Truth Eph 4:2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Counterfeit Truth John 8:44 You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Conflicted Truth 1Cor 1: I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to agree together, to end your divisions, and to be united by the same mind and purpose. For members of Chloe’s household have made it clear to me, my brothers and sisters, that there are quarrels among you. Now I mean this, that each of you is saying, “I am with Paul,” or “I am with Apollos,” or “I am with Cephas,” or “I am with Christ.”

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Humility in Truth 1Cor 2:2 -4 For I decided to be concerned about nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and with much trembling. My conversation and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power 1Cor 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Gifts of Truth Eph 4:7, 8 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he captured captives; he gave gifts to men.”

The Transforming Truth of Jesus Purpose of Truth Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them. Eph 4:16 From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love. Eph 4:25 Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth (in love) with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
