Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
II Thessalonians 3:16
God can give peace. He gives peace with God, peace of heart, peace of mind, and peace with others. He can give peace always, at all times, and in all things. With Him, we can have peace that passes all understanding.

Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.
Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are an abomination to God because they tear apart human society. God delights in the truth. Living truthfully makes you a person people want to know. Be truthful in your words, actions, work, and motives not only brings delight to God, but it also brings opportunities to influence and impact people around you for God’s Kingdom.

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalm 145:18
God promises when we call upon Him, He is always near. He doesn’t keep us at a distance. He remains close to us and ready to answer when we call. When we call upon Him, we are to approach Him with a heart living in truth. Our inward impressions should match our outward expressions of devotion.

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
John 16:13
The Holy Spirit guides God’s children. He guides us in understanding the truth. Our life will be filled with mistakes if we do not access the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. He will guide our words to the truth, our actions to truth and our beliefs to the truth. Not only does He show us the truth but He carries us through a process of understanding all truth. He reveals the complete and ultimate truth to us.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:32
The Christian life is a journey to learn more and more about God. “You shall know the truth” implies that you should always be in a pursuit to know more of God’s truth and understand His ways. The pursuit of God’s truth will set you free. Free from the bondage of sin, free from prejudices, free from the bondage of the law, free from lust and passions, free from making so many life mistakes and free to enjoy fellowship with God and victory in Him.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31
God is for us. That should make us somewhat speechless. Think of it this way. “What can I say, God, is for me.” Not only is He for me, this proves that even when it feels like He is against me, He’s not. All of His attributes are for me, His promises are for me, and all of His acts are for me. He is for me, He is not against me, so the enemy can bring his best efforts against me but what does it matter because if God is for me what can anyone do to destroy me or the purposes God has for me?
