As jy die Waarheid gevind het, you will stop searching, because you have found what you were looking for. By finding the Truth and regeneration in Christ, you have been made righteous and entered God’s rest and should experience peace and joy. But why do so many believers, who say they have found the Truth, don’t experience God’s rest, vrede, and joy in their lives and are not happy and satisfied, but are worried, benoud, fearful, beklemtoon, and sometimes even depressed and keep searching in the world for the truth and a solution and engage with worldly doctrines and (okkulte) practices that promise to give them, what they are searching for. If they keep searching for the truth, have they found the Truth?
Jesus Christus, the Living Word, is the Truth
In die begin was die Woord, en die Woord was by God, en die Woord was God. Dieselfde was in die begin by God. Alle dinge is deur Hom gemaak; en sonder Hom is daar nie iets gemaak wat gemaak is nie. In Hom was lewe; en die lewe was die lig van die mense. And the light shineth in darkness; en die duisternis het dit nie begryp nie (John 1:1-5)
I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture (John 10:9)
Jesus Christ is the Door to God the Father and eternal life. There is no other way to be saved and reconciled with God, as deur Jesus Christus (Lees ook: ‘Die vrede, Jesus herstel tussen die gevalle mens en God').
If you knock on the Door, then Jesus will open and allow you to enter.
Niemand, who knocks on the Door, shall be rejected by Jesus Christ. Jesus shall leave no one outside, during the dispensation of grace.
But do the people still know how to find the Door? Do people still knock on the Door to enter? Do they want to enter through the Door and have communion with God?
How many people, who say they are Christians and say they believe and go to church and read their Bible and pray occasionally, have entered the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ and regeneration in Him?
How many of them have truly found the Way, die waarheid, and the Life and walk on the Way in the Truth and the Life?
Jesus Christ is the Way, die waarheid, en die Lewe
Jesus sê vir hom, Ek is die Weg, die waarheid, en die Lewe: niemand kom na die Vader nie, maar deur My. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him (John 14:6-7)
Because if they would truly found the Way, die waarheid, and the Life and be reconciled with God and entered the Kingdom of God, then why do they keep searching?
Why are they still searching for the truth and for solutions in the world; die koninkryk van duisternis, and be influenced by the wisdom and knowledge of the world, which according to the world is the truth but according to God is foolishness, and get involved with all kinds of (okkulte) practices and methods, that would lead them to happiness, vrede, rykdom, mental and physical health, enlightenment, ens.
Why do they consult the world and allow carnal doctrines and methods into their lives, that oppose the Word and don’t derive from God but from the devil, who is the father of lies and leads them on sideways, which lead to bondage and destruction? (John 8:44-47; 10:10, Efesiërs 4:20-22)
Have they truly found Jesus Christ, the Living Word and the Son of the Most High God and serve Him? Or have they found a counterfeit Jesus, who derives from the mind of people and has been made after the image of man?

As jy die Waarheid gevind het, you will stop searching
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning (John 15:26-27)
As jy die Waarheid gevind het, you won’t search for the truth anymore, because you have found the Truth.
The Word is the Truth and if you are born again by faith in Jesus Christ; die waarheid, and your spirit is raised from the dead, en die Heilige Gees; the Spirit of Truth abides in you, then you shall hear His voice and listen to the Word and submit yourselves to Jesus Christ; die woord
You shall renew your mind with the Word and follow the Word and do the Word in your life, so that you shall walk after the Spirit in the Truth and speak the truth (O. John 14:15-17; 15:26-27; 16:13-15; 18:37, Romeine 9:1 (Lees ook: ‘Waarom dit nodig is om u gedagtes te vernuwe?’)).
When you know the Truth and live in the Truth, you shall recognize and discern the lies of the devil and the powers and works of the kingdom of darkness and bring them into the light and destroy them.
You shall speak the truth of Christ and refute the lies of the devil with the truth of God’s Word.
As jy die Waarheid gevind het, you will not be deceived
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, sê, I am Christ; en sal baie mislei (Matteus 24:4-5)
As jy die Waarheid gevind het, and believe and obey the Truth, you will not be deceived by the lies of the world. You shall not believe, speak and walk in the lies of the world anymore and compromise with the world (die koninkryk van duisternis) and her knowledge, Wysheid, en werke (sonde).
If you do, and believe the words of the world and tolerate the works of the kingdom of darkness, and maybe even practice the works of darkness yourself, then you haven’t found the Truth and the Truth hasn’t set you free yet.
If you haven’t found the Truth, it’s about time to search for the Truth and knock on the Door, Jesus Christus, Who leads you to salvation and eternal life.
Jesus shall open the door for you and if you believe in Him and repent of your sins and lay down your ou lewe as a sinner and become born again and enter His Kingdom, then you shall belong to Him and because of your love for Him, you shall keep His words and commandments, and walk in the Truth and stay in His Kingdom and experience the peace and joy of God, that the world can’t provide.
As jy die Waarheid gevind het, then you will search no more, but you will abide in the Truth and live from the Truth.
