THERE ARE truths in this life – and even the afterlife – that never ever change. These truths are not subject to culture, time, opinion, or negotiation.
These truths are not dependent on what we believe or not. They remain true whether we are convinced of it or not. Our unbelief has no impact on it. Our social status today has no bearing to negate or affirm these truths.
You can’t argue with it. You cannot just wish it away. No. Never ever, forever.
Here are four plain truths that result to our accountabiliy in this life, today, either in this life or the afterlife.
1. You Can’t Fool God
Life has a basic farmer’s rule that never fails: you reap what you sow. No one can make a barefaced lie, cheat, or steal and get away with it. A rule of divine compensation awaits each of us.
If you plant corn, you get corn, not banana. If you plant weeds, you get a garden full of thorns. You can’t plant greed, anger, and dishonesty and expect to harvest peace and blessing. People might fool others, or even themselves, but nobody fools God.
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7
You may escape the consequences of your actions for a season, but not the law of the harvest forever. Think you can escape the consequences of your own deeds? Never ever, forever.
2. Pride Always Leads to a Fall
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18
It is one of the oldest rules in human history: pride comes right before destruction. When we get too overconfident of ourselves that we ignore warnings, then it’s like building a house out of glass. Pride guarantees a fall and destruction to follow. Think your pride can deliver you? Maybe temporarily sometimes, but never ever, forever.
3. Light and Darkness Don’t Mix
Enter a pitch-black room and then flip on the light switch. What happens? The darkness disappears instantly. Darkness doesn’t sit down and negotiate first with the light; light just drives darkness out unceremoniously, immediately.
The Bible says, “What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” — 2 Corinthians 6:14
Truth and lies cannot live together. They cannot be bedfellows, like you can live an ungodly life and also claim you’re living in God’s light. God knew you inside and out, so to live a double life is useless before God who knew you through and through.
No matter how darkness disguises itself, it will never become light. No matter how evil is justified, it will never become good. Think you can get away thru silly compromises? Maybe for a while, but never ever, forever.
4. God’s Judgment Is Final and Certain
There is a final Court before which every human soul will eventually stand without excuse. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 5:10
There will be no escaping the charges, no refusal to answer a divine subpoena. You are 100% accountable. You will stand alone without a defense team to explain your side. God’s judgement will come. Nothing that you have done in secret can be hidden before God. Never ever, forever.
The Truth Will Set You Free
Are these truths meant to curtail you and steal your earthly joy away? None of that. These truths are actually meant to FREE you in its truest sense. The Bible declares, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
The truth doesn’t change—no matter what people say; the truth doesn’t expire—no matter when you test it; the truth doesn’t bend—no matter how hard you fight it.
Everything we see in this life is temporary. What we possess is passing. Even heaven and earth will pass away. But there is one thing that will never change, never fail, and never pass away: THE WORD OF GOD. “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)
Today and henceforth: Choose truth. Choose life. Choose what frees you, for these truths are enduring, unchangeable, eternal.
Are you still living to ignore and fight these truths that can never be eternally broken? Frankly, you cannot and will not. Never ever, forever!/PN
