The Truth of the Matter

“That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10–11)

Just because a person says, “I don’t believe God exists,” does not negate the fact that God does indeed exist. He always has and always will exist regardless of what His prized creation speaks or thinks. Some people know there is a God who created all that is yet choose not to accept the gift of Jesus as their Savoir and Lord. By not choosing Jesus, who died in their place, they reject the God they know exists. What a dilemma, but one easily rectified—that is, unless that person waits too long. God promises no one another second of life on this earth; each one is a gift.

You may believe in the One True God and Jesus as your Savior and Lord, but do you live what you say you believe? Did I hear, “Who does she think she is?” I’m the one who writes these devotionals first to myself before I share them with you; the one who, when lazy or falters in my Christian walk, reminds me of what I’ve written (if the Holy Spirit had not already reminded me). Not one word God gives me goes out before it has first confronted me squarely in the face. So, do we live what we say we believe? Not always, but we have a faithful heavenly Father; He will forgive and cleanse when we confess our sins (1 John 1:9). I trust His Word.

The truth of the matter is that one day, regardless of who you are and what you speak or think, every knee will bow to Jesus, and every tongue will confess to God (Romans 14:11). God is the One and Only Living God, and Jesus is Lord whether one believes those truths.
