Why is knowing "The Truth" so important? For the Lord not only wants us to love him but to also "love the Truth" about him (2 Thessalonians 2:10). We worship the one who says he is the truth and who tells us, "The Truth Will Set You Free", brothers and sisters do you want to worship with liberty, with freedom, then you need to know "The Truth"(John 14:6, John 8:32). God wants everyone "To Come To The knowledge of The Truth" (1 Timothy 2:4). And he reveals his wrath to those who "Suppress The Truth" (Romans 1:18) lets seek "The Truth" and save ourselves from a lot of hurt. Jesus said he would send "The Spirit of Truth," and he asked God to sanctify his disciples through "The Truth," which he identifies as God's word (John 16:13, 17:17). The more we know God's word the more genuine our worship will be. No matter how we feel or think, we cannot truly worship God apart from a right knowledge of God.
Lets talk about three area's that will bring us closer to the "Truth" (what we will cover most Christians already know, but I want to show how we must implement it in our worship).
(1.) Who is God - The bible tells us in John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," verse 3 says's "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made," and verse 14 says "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." The "Truth" is God always existed, there was nothing that mas made before him or without him. God is Jesus Christ manifested in flesh.
(2.) Where is God - God is on the throne right now, for Jesus said "34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all: neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35 Nor by the Earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the City of the great King." Matthew 5:34-35. And also Revelation 4:2 Say's "And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne." Brothers and Sisters God is on the throne right now.
(3.) What God is Doing - God is ruling and reigning over the Earth from his holy throne. Paul spoke of how Christ was raised from the dead and seated at the right of God, Ephesians's 1:20-23 tel us "20 He raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." And the prophet Zacharia prophesied about the reign of Christ and said "Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne;"He is at this very moment the Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev. 17:14) And he rules as sovereign Kings in his Kingdom right now!
When, you realize Who he is, Where he is and What he is doing, then you as a Christian (follower of Christ) can walk in victory everyday and every where you place your foot is the Lord's, so you can lift up "Holy hands without wrath and doubting," not according to your own works, but according to your revelation of Jesus Christ! I am talking about "True Worship."
