Everlasting Truth: Understanding the Divine Truth That Lives in Us

 

Person in quiet reflection connecting with God’s inner truth


Everlasting Truth: The Divine Truth That Lives in Us (2 John 1:2)

"Because of the truth which lives in us and will be with us forever:" – 2 John 1:2 (KSB)

   In a world overflowing with falsehoods and confusion, learning to recognize and hold onto truth is essential. This passage reminds us that an everlasting truth lives within us, a truth that remains constant even when the world around us shifts. The challenge is to discern, embrace, and live from that truth despite the many deceptive voices encountered daily.

   First, truth is God. Truth is not subjective or relative; it is absolute because it flows from the very nature of God. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth, meaning that divine truth transcends circumstances and human opinion. When we acknowledge God as truth, we gain a steadfast foundation that grounds us through life’s uncertainties.

   Second, truth lives in us because God dwells within us. At the core of every person is a divine truth that reflects God’s nature. This truth is not external or temporary; it is an intrinsic part of who we are as spiritual beings. When we cultivate silence, prayer, and attentiveness, we become more aware of this inner truth guiding us toward thoughts of goodness, words that uplift, and actions rooted in integrity.

   Third, truth is active and dynamic. The truth within us is not passive it breathes and moves. As our spiritual awareness grows, so does our ability to walk in truth. Even when confronted with lies, whether external or arising from our own limiting beliefs, the living truth within us empowers us to stand firm. This truth endures every trial, temptation, and storm, offering resilience, clarity, and freedom.

   Embracing the everlasting truth means rejecting falsehoods that diminish our identity and potential. Instead of allowing negative thoughts or destructive patterns to define us, we affirm the divine truth already present within. This truth reminds us that we are wonderfully made, deeply loved, capable, and filled with spiritual potential. When we live from this foundation, we experience lasting peace, freedom, and alignment with God’s perfect will.

   Everlasting Truth (2 John 1:2)

   1. Truth is God.

   2. Truth lives in us.

   3. Truth is in us.

📖 Reflection: Where in your life do you need to replace false beliefs with the living truth God has placed within you?

💡 Action Step: Spend five minutes today in silence, affirming: “God’s truth lives in me and guides me.” Notice what rises in your spirit.

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
