06/19/18 HEARING TRUTH, FOLLOWING LIGHT
Willfully rejecting the LIGHT of salvation,
Is due to choosing the DARKNESS of deception and sin.
FOLLOW THE LIGHT.
To "hear the truth" is actually grasping, understanding, rather than simply having sound vibrations activate the eardrum. Grasping and understanding does not require an expert comprehension of the message or the Bible or Theology. It is simply realizing that sin separates from God, realizing that God provides the answer to the sin problem, and realizing that God's provision is offered to "me."
Deception is a factor in rejecting truth. We saw this in Eve, and Paul was concerned (2 Co. 11:2-3) that New Testament believers could be deceived in the same way. But when we walk in whatever light God gives, it will lead to more light. It is either walk in light or darkness and whichever we choose will have consequences.
