THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH

-
And with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. — 2 Thessalonians 2:10

      The apostles Paul wrote about a certain group of people who "did not receive the love of the truth" (2 Thessalonians 2:10). It is important to note that Paul did not say that those who _know_ the truth would be saved. He states that only those who "love the truth" will receive eternal life.
    Churches are crowed with people who "know" the truth. It isn't hard to find people with an in-depth knowledge of prophecy or a deep understanding of doctrine. But painfully, often, people with a high biblical IQ have a weak grasp of what it means to be a true Christian. Someone once said that "the strongest argument in favor of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian," yet it is clearly possible to major in knowledge while failing to experience transformation. You can possess all the truth you want, but only when Jesus touches your heart does the truth start to make a difference.
     Salvation is about much more than theory. You can be right and still be wrong. The Pharises in Jesus' day were right about an awful lot, but while practicing their religion, they were plotting to murder the Messiah.
     When correctly experienced, truth result in transformation. For some, more truth merely allows them to be more "tight." God's plan is that more "truth" will result in His children becoming more _"right with Him."_ The ultimate manifestation of truth isn't a doctrine or a prophecy or a scriptural interpretation. The ultimate manifestation of truth is a Person—Jesus. As we advance in the light shining from the Bible, our characters should continue to develop so that we become more like Him.
      Loving the truth isn't simply a matter of loving pure doctrine or loving correct biblical principles. It is true that those things are important. _Very_ important. But any form of truth that doesn't result in its possessor becoming more like the Truth isn't truth at all.
Jesus Christ, Bible study

Luke 23:1-25 Genesis 41 Psalm 32 * We see in our life that how people reject the Lord, ridicule him and say that what life will give us who could not save himself. Like we read in Luke 23:1–25. That people did not accept the Lord Jesus Christ and asked the king to give him the death of anger and we know that in the Bible, Lord Jesus Christ died for our sin and also lived for our righteousness and is alive till today. And those who live in the shadow of God, God always protects and helps them and also gives them success as written in Genesis 41 in the Bible. In bad times like famine, I give God enough food to Joseph and God stays with Yusuf to guide him, due to which even the countries like Egypt who did not fear God were blessed, there was no food in the whole city but in Egypt There was food and Egypt used to buy food for all the cities and Joseph gave authority over the whole of Egypt. * We know that there are good times and bad times in our life, but we should follow and

Hebrews...:– 6:13–20 Exodus..:- 1—2 Psalms..:- 40 I read in the Bible in Hebrews 6:13 that as God made a promise to Abraham and found no one greater than Him to fulfill the promise, God made a promise to Abraham by taking an oath of his own accord and said that I would give you more I will increase your lineage a lot and I will also give blessings. And as we know, in the Bible, in Exodus 1 and 2, we read about how God greatly blessed and raised Jacob and his children in Egypt. And we read that as it is written in the Bible, how in Egypt they had to suffer a lot and had to endure many troubles, and even in the days of trouble, God increased Israel greatly and Israel people began to flourish; And they went on becoming exceedingly powerful; And they grew so much that the whole country was filled with them. But God saw their suffering and heard their cry which was coming out because of the hard service that cry reached to God and God remembered his promise which he had made to
