It doesn’t take a leap of faith to come to God! We just have to take a little hop, a baby step; to say a simple prayer; to cry to God; to have a willingness to believe the TRUTH. When we are willing to know the TRUTH, God bends over backwards (so to speak) to help us know Him. It’s a little faith. (Mark 4:30-32) It’s not a big leap – but could be a great change! If anyone did the leaping, it was Jesus! A leap is to ”jump or spring a long way”. Jesus Christ came a long way – from heaven on high to earth below – to be the Way for us. But when we but simply turn to God, He does the leaping – leaping for joy, I might add! (Zeph 3:17) He bridges the gap between us. He carries us a long way, out of the mud of our sin into the spiritual blue skies. It is JESUS CHRIST who accomplishes it. If you are willing to know the TRUTH, then simply pray, ”God, please show me the TRUTH.” (John 8:32)

”Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?” (1 John 2:22) In Nicaragua, I met a man from Europe. We spoke at length as we were walking. He had seemingly bought the politically-correct re-definition of ”truth” as it being relative and subjective, and he was not convinced of the absolute truth of the Holy Scriptures. He asked ”What is truth?” I asserted that ”Jesus Christ IS the Truth”. Christ said it Himself. It is not only true the facts in the Bible about Jesus Christ but He IS the TRUTH! If you deny it, if you deny Him, the Word of God calls you a liar. (And liars are doomed Rev 21:8 ) That’s a strong word! But the GOOD NEWS: God WANTS you to know the Truth! He gave us His Word. He reveals the Truth to all sincere seekers of the truth. In the end, this young man prayed for God to reveal the truth to him. That’s what I prayed when I was lost in Buddhism and God in His mercy revealed to me Jesus Christ. I am confident that God will reveal the Truth of Jesus Christ to every honestly seeking heart. Are you ready to follow the Truth? Or are you not yet disgusted enough with your life of sin, self-gratification and delusion? Knowing he Truth will set you free! (John 8:32) HalleluYAH!

“In their search for facts men have confused truths with truth. The words of Christ, ‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’ have been wrenched from their context and used to stir people to the pursuit of knowledge of many kinds with the expectation of being made ‘free’ (John 8:32), [...]
