A Call To The Remnant

Genuine saints have “received the love of the truth.” It is a gift to be accepted or rejected. Now one might wonder why anyone would reject such a gift. Receiving the love of the truth will dismantle your life. It will leave no stone un-turned. Its a driving passion that consumes every part of who you are. Saints down through the ages are easily identified by this gift. There is no part of the truth that is too small to ignore.

All of it must be consumed to be received. And it is this “all” that is instinctively known by the potential recipients. This, I believe, is the great divide. The wheat and the tares. The sheep and the goats. The saved and the lost. It all rests upon the Truth and our love and total commitment to it. A genuine saint would rather face the mouths of lions than reject that which courses through their veins.

The thing that should cause people to be afraid about this Scripture from 2Thess 2 is the context. The context is about being deceived. It is about the coming of the lawless one. It is about the great falling away. It is about a strong delusion that God Himself shall send that those who have not received the love of the truth will believe “a lie.” It is accompanied by lying signs and wonder to further delude those who have rejected the love of the truth.

To all my brothers and sisters out there who have received the love of the truth, God bless you. It has cost you much loss, much suffering but in and through it all great joy is yours. For we know that those who love the truth count it all as rubbish as long as they are found in Him even if, at the same time we are found in jail, in pain, in a sickbed in the midst of trial and tribulation. Great will your reward be in the Kingdom to come.

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
