Amazing Thoughts!The Truth About TruthJULY 26, 2024 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? Recommended Reading: John 14:15-18 John used the word “truth” more than twenty times in his Gospel. He told us that Jesus is “full of grace and truth” (John 1:14), that truth comes through Him (1:17), and that the truth will make us free (8:32). 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 too. 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.
