What is the truth?
The truth like grace or wisdom or the fear of the LORD, and many other such things is both something as well as Someone.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
Jesus Christ is the truth.
Every word that proceeds out of His mouth is the truth.
Therefore the fullness (threefold fullness) of the truth is expressed through…
His Gospel
His Doctrine
His Commandments
We are all called to walk in the truth. Being led by the Spirit is the lifestyle of walking in the truth.
The Spirit of Truth will always lead us in the way of truth.
I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father. And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another. This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.
2 John 1:4-6
Obeying the truth is the way of eternal life. We are saved, born again; regenerated by obeying the truth through the Spirit.
Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 1 Peter 1:22-23
We are living in the climax of the last days, where deception is rampant. Soon we will see the false messiah appear in Jerusalem. The frightening reality is God Himself is enabling the antichrist to deceive those who do not love the truth.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
The question for us, His people who are living in the last days… Do we love the truth.
I hope to cultivate a strong love for the truth in this thread by likeminded believers.
Much deception has been promoted through the media to this generation. We must learn to develop a love for the truth, and pass this on to our children.
We must cultivate a ”taste” for the truth.
But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath.
Romans 2:5-8
