The Truth of God
What is truth? Our world has many ways of answering this question. Often, this is what we see: truth is whatever you want it to be. It’s defined by the individual and nothing else.
God’s definition is different.
God is the Ruler and Creator of the universe. Everything He speaks is truth. He, being perfect, is completely incapable of lying. It is not in His nature! He is the only faultless source of truth that has ever existed.
And guess what? We have access to truth directly from God!
What God says is the foundation of His Word. The Bible is our path to discovering and knowing truth; more steady and solid than the opinions we hear, the information we see around us, or the feelings we feel. This truth never changes.
John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” When we know the truth, we are no longer living according to a lie. This is when we become free to live according to how God designed us to live. What a gift that He has made this truth available to us in His Word. It's right there at our fingertips!
Today, where do you need God's truth to replace lies in your life? Remember, truth brings freedom! His Word is available to you at all times. He is inviting you to step into truth and freedom today.

A true definition of love doesn’t come from culture, our own values, or from within ourselves—it comes from God, because “God is love” (1 John 4:8). So, any right understanding of love must come from God. 1 Corinthians 13 is entirely devoted to defining what love is.
1 Corinthians 13:6 says love "does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." Evil is anything opposed to God or His ways. When we disobey God’s law, choose to do the wrong thing, or cause harm to someone else—that is evil.
Essentially, evil is when we fail to love God and love others.
For instance, if someone difficult does not know the love of Jesus, we shouldn’t delight in that. Love ...
