Book Description
This study is a continuation of "I AM the TRUTH; the truth will make you free" which is about knowing the truth. This bible study emphasizes walking in the truth. The first part of 3 John says, "For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth. I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth." How do we "walk" in the truth? What does walking "in the truth" look like? As we continue reading 3 John, what do we discover is the opposite of walking in the truth? Walking is doing, being, and obeying the truth, but not alone; without Him we can do nothing. We walk in the truth, in Christ, in the Spirit. Jesus wants us to know the truth, know the Word, and be doers of the Word, in Him and with Him, following Him. To walk in the truth, we have to love Him enough to obey the truth, to walk in His ways, to be led by the Spirit. We're abiding in Him and in His love, and He is abiding in us. Then we go, led by the Spirit, following Jesus. When we do, the truth makes us free; free from sin, world, flesh and devil. Scripture explains Scripture. So each lesson herein is a paragraph or two of scripture, in context, where two or more of the words "walk, know and/or the Truth (and their various synonyms) appeared in the same paragraph; followed by five questions. Each Scripture is in context, but it's best if you also read what surrounds these verses. We suggest you start by reading the Gospel message under the heading, Start Here. We cannot walk the truth without knowing Jesus and responding to the Good News. Also included herein is Appendix A - Small Group Facilitation Guide with step-by-step instructions to help homegroup and bible study leaders host interactive meetings. Plus Appendix B - Sample Answers is an example of how one might answer the questions, particularly the first time. Let's resume the journey of knowing and walking in the Truth. The follow up to this study is called, "If you ABIDE in ME, and MY WORDS abide in you." Jesus said, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" That's a pretty amazing outcome, but what's our part? How do we "abide" in Jesus? More specifically, how do we abide "in Jesus?" And again, how do His "words abide in us?" For all you songwriters interested in worship song content, consider the songwriter version of this booklet, As we WALK in the TRUTH (Songwriters' Edition). The scriptures are the same ones that are in this book, but are followed by different questions and some helpful hints to inspire the writing of upwardly focused worship songs. As we WALK in the TRUTH (Pastors edition) is available for pastors and teachers who create their own inspirational, comprehensive, theme-based, bible sermon series. The Scriptures are the same, but with different research suggestions for sermon preparation. The questions guide students and teacher to focus in on verb phrases (actions) that are in the Truth, use Scripture to explain Scripture, encourage everyone to KNOW God better and be doers of the Word. So that the Word of God will correct, reproof, train and equip believers to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Thank you studying walking in the truth.
