“He who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God” (John 3:21).
“He who does the truth” is an unusual phrase. What does it mean to “do truth”?
Andy Stanley wrote a short book called, The Best Question Ever. The question is simply, “Is it wise?” Every time we are faced with a dilemma, we need to ask ourselves, is the decision we are about to make wise? Is our decision based on truth or deception? Is it based on self seeking motivation or is it motivated by service? Is anything about it questionable, or is every aspect backed by biblical principles.
Those who make decisions based on truth come to the light of God’s word without fear, manipulation or deception. Holding every conversation and decision to this standard makes the point that being authentic may be much more difficult than we think.
