He is Right

Scott Price

As God's people mature in this life of faith they gradually become less concerned with their own honor, their name, their reputation, etc. People in religion are always interested in THEM being right on a subject. This mind-set lends to the idea that the person is getting some sort of credit for being correct (as if the person created the truth or at least "discovered" the truth). God is the God of truth. Christ Himself said He is TRUTH! When we see, understand, believe, and defend the truth we are merely agreeing with Christ as He reveals His gospel to our minds. We get no credit. Their is not discovery on owr part. It is all of grace by revelation and God-given faith. We, of course, did NOT improve the truth somehow by believing it or defending it. God is always out front leading the way in the area of truth and we are following His lead. We are "Johnny come lately" not the fountian source of eternal truth. The prideful attitude of being puffed up stinks to heaven. We need more truth and more love of it. I pray the Lord sends it to us.
