Buy the Truth
“Buy the truth, and sell it not” (Proverbs 23:23).
The Lord is no man’s debtor. Whatever little price we may think we pay to be faithful to Him, He will repay. He promises, “Them that honor Me I will honor” (1 Samuel 2:30).
However, I suspect that most of my readers today are not expecting to be imprisoned or killed for carrying a Bible, witnessing for the Lord, or attending a meeting of believers. Yet there will be a reproach and a price to pay if you are faithful. “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12). It may not be physical persecution, but there will be a cost in one way or another. Perhaps the cost is being shunned or misunderstood by family or friends … etc. Remember too, when we pay a price for something, we value it more.
