I am taking time each week to ask myself "Why we worship"
A chorus that we sing and a memory verse we learn as children tells us that
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
And today I want to think about truth.
Perhaps one way to think about it is to consider the opposite of true which is false.
So we can say that God is not false.
God has no lies in Him
God has no deceit in Him
God has no evil in Him
Also it means that God is not a false God.
God is not an imitation God
God is not an idol or image
God is not the wrong God
God is the right God
God is the true, living God.

When Jesus was praying to His Father (in John chapter 17) on behalf of the ones who would trust in Him He described God the Father as the only true God.
The verse above also tells us that knowing God, the only true God is what it means to have Eternal life.
We mostly tend to talk about Eternal life as the life we have after we die and that living forever is the main goal or reward for a Christian but here Jesus is saying that
it is not
living forever that we should be looking forward to
but
instead it is knowing God
and
surely that must start
in this life
Do you know the right God?
