You can listen to the teaching of this article from the SHINE BRIGHT Church YouTube Channel here.
PROVERBS 23:23
Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.
When you buy something, you’re investing with your dollars the item you want or need. If someone tells you a story and you say, “I don’t buy it” –you’re not investing any credibility to that story.
To “buy truth” in this verse is to invest in the truth – to learn of it, esteem it as precious, depend on it, obey it, make it a part of our lives and not “sell[ing] it” that is, not abandoning it.
Every human being is a steward: a keeper and user of those things GOD has given to us all: a life, a mind, a conscience, time on this Earth, a certain degree of responsibility and power, our relationships. Truth is also among these gifts; so is freedom. GOD is watching to see if we’re taking our stewardship seriously. We’ll be called into account for our stewardship by GOD.
We Christians on top of what was already mentioned have been given His Holy Revelation, His Holy Spirit, New Life in Christ, His Great Commission of the Gospel, we’ve received ambassadorship: we’re His representatives! We also will be called into account at the Bema Seat for rewards.
