TRUTH
by Elder Lin Brown
Eph 6:13&14a
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.John 4:23&24
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 15:26
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:John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.1 John 5:6
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.In Scripture language, eminently, God is truth; that is, in him is no fallacy, deception, perverseness, etc. Jesus Christ, being God, is also the truth, and is the true way to God, the true representative, image, character, of the Father. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, who communicates truth, who maintains the truth in believers, guides them in the truth, (Psalm 31:5; John 14:6, 17).These are the doctrinal truths of which we are to gird ourselves each day.
1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.Eph 4:25
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.We should always be mindful of the practical side of truth also.
