  7. Review Part One: The Faithful and True

  8. Revelation 19:11 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True”

  9. In Hebrew the concepts of faithfulness and truth are inseparable

  10. Faithful and True • Bible translations interpret ONE Hebrew word EMET as both the words “Faithful” and “Truth”. • Genesis 24:27 “His mercy and His truth” (NKJV). • Genesis 24:27 “his kindness and faithfulness” (NIV).

  11. If you are going to be faithful you need to know what is true.

  12. Skipping Review of Part Two:Review Part Three: The Faithful Truth- EMET

  13. The Faithful Truth- EMET In the Hebrew/Christian word for “Truth” God is the center and not man (meaning you).

  14. The Faithful Truth- EMET

  15. Aleph is the first letter of the Alephbet and represents the breath of God or our awareness of Him. Therefore truth begins with our awareness of God

  16. The middle letter Mem in Hebrew was originally the symbol for water and is also understood to represent the Messiah. In Mem the Hebrew sees divine wisdom from the fountain of life itself which is God, the creator and king of the heavens and the earth is the center of truth.

  17. The final letter of EMET is Tav which is the last letter of the Alephbet. Tav is seen at the expression of simple faith to the Hebrew. This letter corresponds to the kingdom as given to us in Torah or Scriptures

  18. The Faithful Truth- EMET • God alone represents or determines what TRUTH is. • Therefore it is not what you or I think but what God thinks that is TRUTH.

  19. The Faithful Truth- EMET The letters tmaare “stable” “reliable” and therefore FAITHFUL!

  20. The Faithful Truth- EMET • To live a Faithful and True life in 2014 and beyond… • We must accept that God alone determines what is true. • Christ must be the center of our lives. • We must be committed to reading His Word the Bible and apply it in our lives.

  21. Today’s Commitment Card • I commit to recognizing God alone has the authority to determine truth and He reveals it to us in His Word the Holy Bible. • I commit myself to faithfully reading God’s Word in 2014. • I commit myself to being a person of faithfulness and truth.

  22. Part Three: EMET Vs.Sheker

  23. EMET vs. Sheker • Sheker- שקר, Hebrew word for “falsehood.” • שקר Shin - Kuf – Reish

  24. EMET vs. Sheker

  25. EMET vs. Sheker~ shin • When you start with a lie you are placing your relationship, work and integrity in a spin that will eventually tumble and BURN. • Lies will destroy the good of your past, burn your present and steal your future.

  26. EMET vs. Sheker- Kuf • When you live a lie you suck the life out of your relationships, your existence and your very being.

  27. EMET vs. Sheker- Reish • ר Reish shows us the end of a lie is poverty. • God wants you to reap the rewards of faithfulness so you must cast off all dishonesty.
