“KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH!”

2 Timothy 3:1-7                   (ESV)

“1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,

4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, LOVERS OF PLEASURE rather than LOVERS OF GOD,

5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,

7 always learning and NEVER ABLE TO ARRIVE at a “KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH” of the truth.”

Unless we have a “KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH”, which is given to us from GOD above (1 Timothy 2:3-4), we cannot display actions that reflect HIS characteristics.   All of the hot air that we spew out, whether factual or error, is worthless unless it is bathed in the “KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH”!  

JESUS said in John 14:6 “I am the way, and the TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the FATHER except through ME”!  Your pastor, your politician, your physic, nothing is able to provide a “KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH” outside of JESUS!  GOD made sure that was the case so our only HOPE is in HIM.  

So although we are wasting away (2 Corinthians 4:16-18) we can find comfort in the “KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH” that can only be found in CHRIST!
