The Truest Words Ever Spoken

We live in a world where the lines between truth and fiction are so often blurred. And while we know that the Bible is the one source of absolute truth, how often do we hear things that people incorrectly refer to as Biblical truth (eg. "God helps those who help themselves"--not in Scripture, completely untrue!)? Immersing ourselves in God's Word certainly helps us build foundational truth in our lives. In fact, we can make the cornerstone of our foundation the most fundamental truth in all of Scripture---Jesus is Lord!

Those three words are without a doubt the truest words ever spoken. Philippians 2:9-11 tells us that because of his sacrificial death on the cross, God exalted his Son with the name above all names and that one day everyone will bow before Jesus and confess that he is Lord. Even the vilest people throughout history will bow before the King of Kings. But only those who have accepted Him as Savior; those who in their hearts have declared that Jesus is Lord, will share in His eternal glory.

In the time we have here on earth, we should continually declare the truest words ever spoken. In our thoughts, our words and our actions. If we look at his letters, the Apostle Paul urged others to believe in the Lord, trust in the Lord, love in the Lord, be faithful in the Lord, stand firm in the Lord, be strong in the Lord, hope in the Lord, work hard in the Lord, boast in the Lord and rejoice in the Lord. Allowing Jesus to be Lord in our lives enables his light to shine in us and through us to impact a lost and dying world.

Let it be said of each and every one of us that we have spoken the words of life; beginning with the truest words ever spoken. Jesus is Lord!
