Whenever the Bible speaks of THE
TRUTH, it is referring to the sum total of Bible Doctrine as revealed
to mankind through the infallible Word of God. The Bible is said to be
the very thinking of Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16)
As a believer learns and applies
THE TRUTH in his life on a daily basis, that truth will protect him
from all kinds of evil influence. (Psalm 91 :4) (Ephesians 6:10-17)
God's TRUTH will live throughout
eternity. (Psalm 117:2) God's TRUTH is forever settled in heaven.
(Psalm 119:89)
Solomon said we should BUY THE TRUTH
and pay the price for it. That means we must learn, believe and apply
God's Word every day so we may eventually become mature believers
whose lives will honor the Lord.
John 1 :14 tells us that Jesus
Christ, the God-Man, is full of GRACE and TRUTH.
In John 8:31 & 32, Jesus told
the people who believed in Him, "If you continue to learn, believe and
apply My Word, you will know THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH will set you
free."
When Jesus told His disciples not to
worry, because He was going away, one of them said, "We don't know
where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I
am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. No man can come to the Father
except by personal faith in Me." (John
14:1-6)
God's will is to have no one
perish, but that everyone should be should be saved. (2 Peter
3:9)
However, each one of us has been
given a free will to believe or to reject God's provision for
salvation, so the Lord graciously extends an invitation to everyone in
Acts 16:31:
"BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
AND YOU WILL BE SAVED."
