Proverbs 23:23 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23 NKJV)

This passage, in essence, commands us to go shopping for ingredients of freedom. Yes, that's freedom from all types of bondage by a sinful world. That’s freedom from religion and wrong believing! We are to seek, to secure and believe, to ‘buy the Truth’! The truth, along with spices of wisdom and instruction and understanding, is our only way to be set free. And it can only be obtained through God's holy and written Words, by grace through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32 NIV)

Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17b). It is written: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV)

Now, that we know and found it, let us get hold of it through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's take possession of it at the cost of all that we have by total dependence upon Him, like the man who found the hidden treasure, and the merchant who found the fine pearls. Lord Jesus said, as it is written: “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” (Matthew 13:44-46 NIV)

And I say, AMEN!
