The Truth About Truth!
"Which of you convicts Me of sin?
And if I tell the truth, why do you
not believe Me?"
John 8: 46
John used the word “truth” more than twenty
times in his Gospel. Jesus said, “I tell the truth”
(8:45) and “I am…the truth” (14:6). He
promised
to send us the Spirit of truth to guide us into all
truth (16:13). When He prayed for us, He asked
His Father to “sanctify them by
Your truth.
Your word is truth” (17:17).
Pontius Pilate scoffed at Him, saying,
“What is truth?” (18:38) That’s
what
people are saying today as well.
When we hear phrases like “Your
truth,
my truth, and his truth,” it comes from
a belief that there is no absolute truth.
Everything is subject to opinions.
Everything is relative.
A world in which everyone thinks their
opinions, however mistaken, represent
for them the truth, well, that’s a world of
absurdity.
Don’t be fooled by the world’s version of
truth. Stay close to Him who is the Truth
and continually study the Book that is
true and trustworthy—the Bible.
"God’s claim of absolute truth is
so
essential that man’s ideas should
never intrude upon it."
