The Real Reason We Do Not Know The Truth
The Real Reason We Do Not Know The Truth
There are hundreds of reasons we can say we did not know the truth and in most cases they amount to excuses. God says there are no excuses. How can He say that? I believe it is largely because the real reason for not knowing the truth places the failure to know squarely on our individual shoulders.
Yes, there has been confusion and difficulties in this matter brought by many things like:
- Science
- Teachers
- Family
- Friends
- Religion
- Threats
- Bribes
- Deceit
Yet many people know the truth, believe God and have overcome these confusions / difficulties. The difference is not intelligence. There are scientists on both sides of the theory of evolution and big bang creation. In science there is a lot of theories, a lot of speculation and often a lot of prejudice.
The thing behind your understanding of truth will always be the same thing and that is your “Love Of The Truth.”
Do you love the truth enough to:
- Give up what you currently believe?
- Change your life, giving up perhaps some things you cherish?
- Stop using excuses related to your inability to see how God can be fair
- Denying the God of the bible because of His apparent harshness
- Stop thinking your ignorance of God and God’s law could be an excuse (in case God exists and is the God of the bible)
You see by design God is sorting out those who will be in heaven and is doing this along the lines of those who love the truth. You will decide to seek the truth or to live without it. Any person can have the truth but for some very strange reason usually related to pride, selfishness, current prosperity or desires for more in this life you choose the present over the future existence often denying your eternal nature.
