The Unshakeable Nature of Truth

In Acts 5, the high priest and Sadducees saw the apostles’ message as dangerous because it challenged their teaching, authority, and influence. The truth of the gospel always disrupts false security. Today, truth remains offensive to many — not because it is harmful, but because it exposes sin and demands humility.

As believers, we often struggle with the tension between wanting to be liked and the call to declare truth. Yet, truth is not ours to soften or hide. When we live and speak God’s Word faithfully, some will reject it, but others will be set free. The apostles did not fear embarrassment or intimidation; they trusted that God’s truth cannot be stopped, even when opposed. This encourages us to hold fast, knowing God’s Word will accomplish His purposes regardless of resistance.
  
Scripture:
2 Corinthians 2:17 - For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.
 
Ephesians 4:15 - Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.
 
Application:
Are there areas where you are tempted to compromise truth for comfort or approval? How can you stand firm?.
 
Prayer:
Father, help me to remember that Your Word is powerful and unstoppable. Keep me from fearing rejection, and let me boldly live and speak Your truth with love.
