"Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-- unless indeed you do not stand the test....For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth." 2 Corinthians 13:5 & 8)
"....Jesus Christ is in you....For we can do nothing against [this] truth, but only for [this] truth." Now there are many throughout history who have attempted to, "....do...against the truth..," of our text, "....that Jesus Christ is in you". The only power they have is when anyone succumbs to the idea, the theology that the Living Triune God is everywhere but, "....in you".
So many religious cliches, which have become popular in recent decades, strengthen the bad theology against this truth. The truth is, "....that Jesus Christ is in you", and me before and after those great meetings, right now in fact, always, everywhere, forever. This is, "....the truth."
Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You for, "the truth." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
