Truth in Acknowledging the Messiah

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? ….  (1John 2:22)

Fact is a knowing that something exists. Truth is when fact becomes a perpetual reality, transcending the realm of the intellect of the soul, piercing into the spirit of a man. It is the shedding of God’s light at the spirit level that it becomes revelation. It is one thing to intellectually grasp that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah, He is eternal life (1 John 1:2) to all who have the revelation. Truth has a life that brings the things of the Spirit into the soul which is subsequently evident in practice (1 John 1:6).

Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.  (2Ki 18:21)

The very moment we receive the revelation that Jesus is the Messiah, immediately all other forms of salvation or help or deliverance become dead to us. Though there may be temptations to seek others, the Holy Spirit will remind us to run to the God of our Salvation. Any other means would be abominable. There is only One Savior, only One Messiah. Not judging the outcome but faithful to endure regardless of outward circumstances and what our eyes behold. We will find out that Jesus our Messiah is faithful and cannot deny Himself (2 Tim 2:13).If we mentally accept that Jesus is Messiah, and our response shows otherwise, could we be living in a lie?
