What Do Ya Know?

It takes time to develop faith in God’s love! You may have “heard about it” but how much have believe and experience it daily? The Bible says “faith comes by hearing and hearing…” so the more you hear it the more you believe it and the more you believe it the easier it seems to receive it. Even though it’s the Truth the Bible does not say that the truth will set you free it says…

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32KJV

So it’s not just the truth but continuing in and abiding in it until you KNOW it. It’s not merely the truth but the truth that you KNOW that will make you free. And how do you get to know anything? You study and practice it and continue in it. Many people have heard the truth but they are still not free because they didn’t accept it nor do they know it. Any good disciple knows the words of his master. If you don’t know the Words of the Master you are not a good disciple nor will you be free.

So when it comes to the truth about God’s love for you do you know what He said about you? Here’s a list of personalized scriptures to study and think about in order to develop your faith in Gods love. And the more you know and are aware of His love the more and more free and secure you will be.

PIE90 Scripture:

1 John 4:16-17
6 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
NKJV
