Devotion

"But you did not learn Christ in this way," Ephesians 4:20

In what way did you learn Christ? The verse states that there is a specific way in which the apostle Paul felt that the Ephesians had learned of Christ. In today's world there are so many ways in which we can gather information. TV, Radio, Newspapers, Books of all kinds, and of course the Internet. We are bombarded with thoughts and ideas that may or may not be reliable. The Bible tells us to be on guard for false information and false doctrines that will come our way, and that we are to defend the faith from all those that would lead men away from the Truth.
Jesus said that he is "the way ,the truth,and the life; no one comes to the Father,but through Me" John 14:6. So it is vital that we know him as the Truth because the Truth is under attack in our generation. If the Truth of the Bible can be discredited, twisted and misrepresented, as it often is even in churches all across this nation, then souls will be lost for eternity. This is the wrong way to learn of Christ! The best way to learn of Christ is and always has been through his Word! The Bible is the Inspired, anointed, appointed and final word on the Truth. We are responsible for having a right understanding of that Truth. Our challenge today is to stay in the Word of God, not be quick to buy what the world is selling. Instead we should be speaking Truth in love, as Jesus said "ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32
