LOVE the Truth

I have met quite a few people through the years who respond to Truth by saying something like, "Thanks, you've given me a lot to think about." Ultimately, over time, the culture that these people surround themselves with and immerse themselves into prevails. In the end, they do not submit to the Truth that they are shown. Instead they "chew on it" and "like it" but refuse to treasure it, live for it, and die for it. They therefore never truly rise above the nominal Christianity they were born into. They may reach a state of "better than average" but they fall FAR, FAR SHORT of SUPERNATURAL.
The same can happen to US (ie, ANYONE) if we treat "Truth" as something to be evaluated and studied and "remembered." Truth is to be TREASURED and THEREFORE we remember it. Where your TREASURE is, there shall your heart be. We remember the truth and live the truth because we TREASURE the truth. We LOVE the truth and so are saved (2 Thess 2:10-12). Otherwise, anything short of loving and treasuring and being changed by the truth will cause us to be overcome by a strong delusion. We will be deluded. Maybe we will think we are fine. Maybe we will think we know the truth because we've heard it and even "liked it" and "thanked" the one who brought it to us. But in the end if we are not CHANGED because we have treasured and honored and submitted to the Word of God we will be deluded and believe the lie. It must infuriate God so much that He Himself sends the strong delusion to people. He will not have a bunch if counterfeits! Let's treasure what He treasures.
