Beacon of Truth
How Does One Stay Righteous in Gods Eye


When a person is saved by the grace of our Lord Jesus

Christ, and receives the Holy Spirit, this is something

that he wants to hold onto. Since no man can live a totally

sinless life, there are ways to stay into the grace of God.

Number one- study yourself to know the word of God, for it

is a commandment of the Lord. Second- give the devil no

place, that is: if the Holy Spirit convicts you of sin,

then confess it to the Lord, and ask forgiveness, for

the devil has to flee, those who do so. This gives the devil "no place".

Include the Lord in everything you do, by faith, for anything done "outside of faith" is sin.

Thirdly put ye on, the whole armor of God: The helmet of

salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of

truth, the shield of faith, the shoes of peace, and the

sword of the Lord, which is the word of God.

Whosoever maketh and speaketh a lie, is not only lying to

another person, but is also speaking untruth unto the Lord.

When someone does this he has just given the devil a place,

for the word of God says that the devil is the father of

ALL lies. The word of God says also that the righteous

man shall "rightly divide the truth". Since we know that

all of the bible is Gods truth, when we are to decide, what

is right or wrong, we should then turn to the word of God

so that we may have and know what the truth is. Jesus said

..that as many that are of the truth, shall hear MY voice.

This is where discernment is given. For those who abide in

Christ, and are of the truth, and speak the truth of God

at all times, when they hear something said that is not of

the truth, then they shall hear Christ's voice. He shall

let the hearer know in his heart that what he heard is not

of the truth. This is a wonderful thing to have, because

deception, is all around us, and those without

discernment, shall stumble therewith, and may believe a

lie, that could cause them harm. So to be one of truth,

simply know that God knows all truths, and speak nothing

that goes against what the truths are. I am not speaking

about what some men claim to be their truths because men's

truths are always subject to change, I am talking about

Gods truths in the Holy bible, which always stay the same,

for the Lord changes not, nor does His word. The Lord

wants ALL of His children to know His words, and He also

wants us to look for ourselves, and to not depend on some

men's interpretation of what they think the words mean, for

if not so: the bible would not say:..let every man be a

liar, and the word of God true!
