John chapter 17 verse 17
Bible says sanctify them through thy truth. What does it say thy word is true
So when Jesus was praying to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, he said sanctify them through thy truth
What does that mean set them apart?
How do we set apart by this book?
by the truth of this book because you know when you open it up and you see that the Bible says honor thy father and
Mother which is the first commandment with promise that helps you to understand kids
Hey
You need to obey and honor your parents you want to live long on the earth and that truth helps you that truth
Helps you through your life thou shalt not steal
Hey, guess what? The Bible is set trying to set you apart and sanctify you. Hey, if you stole steal no more
and
So God's Word is a truth to us that we have to live by and you know what if you don't read it
You're not gonna get that truth
Read it for yourself
Understand it for yourself. And you know who you need to guide you in that truth God
You have to ask for that wisdom. You have to you have to be there and be willing to do the truth
So he wants us to worship him in spirit and in truth
And if you don't read the Bible, then you're not getting part of that. You're not getting the truth
You're getting I mean because what are you doing with the rest of your day?
And if you're just reading the Bible for five minutes a day
Then the other 23 hours and 55 minutes, what are you doing with that time?
You're not getting truth
Unless you're like watching YouTube videos
But I mean even that you know is limited because you forget a lot of what you hear
You're gonna forget most of this preaching tonight, you know, some of you are too tired to even pay attention
You can see it in your faces
so go back and watch it later, but
I
Understand though. It's been a long day, but it's all one evening in the afternoon and
You know, but I'm trying to teach you something tonight that we need to be sanctified
We need to be set apart and God's and Jesus said
He's praying to the Father. He says sanctify them through thy truth by word is truth. And that's how we're set apart
That's how we're sanctified you get the truth from the Bible and you apply it to your life and that sets you apart from other
people
