The Truth and Lies

(John 8:43-47)

Overseer Sung-Hyun Kim

God
is true.
He
wanted to show what is true, that is, the truth to the world (Jn 8:32).
Since God’s word came from righteousness, it is true.
God’s Spirit is true and has no darkness (Jn 3:21).
God sent His Word. He is the truth.
Jesus is the truth (Jn 14:6).
He is God’s Son. So just as the Father is true,
He is equally eternal life (Phil 2:6-8).
Therefore,
those who belong to God hear and follow true words (1 Jn 4:6).
If you do not listen to God’s word,
it is because you do not belong to God (Jn 8:38).
The devil was the father of lies from the beginning (Jn 8:44).
Those born of the devil follow his desires and lie.
The devil was a murderer from the beginning. Deception is murder.
Those who will perish do not believe the truth (2 Cor 4:3).
God’s truth and the devil’s deception are eternally different.
The Holy Spirit’s word is the truth.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (Jn 14:17).
〇 Discern whether you belong to the truth
or are completely deceived by the devil.
Those who belong to God understand the truth.
〇 Those who belong to the devil lie from the beginning.
If you look to follow the sly outer appearance, you will perish.
The devil’s purpose is murder.
〇 God’s word is the truth.
It was shown to the world through Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit testifies to this word.
※ Do not be deceived by lies.
Lies come from the devil. This is the devil’s spirit.
Discern the spirits by the word.
