WHAT IS TRUTH?


 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find no fault in Him at all. John 18:37-38
Are you asking the same question that Pilate asked? 
Are you sincere in your search for the truth? 

If you desire to know the truth, come to the LORD JESUS for He is the Truth. He will connect you with GOD Who is the Author and the Finisher of all truth. Everything from the beginning to the end and in between hangs on Truth. Everything that is not connected to the Truth is deceptive and will perish one day. 

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


The very foundation of the lives of the righteous is Truth.
 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do? The LORD is in His holy temple, The LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup. Psalm 11:3-6

Stand firm in the Truth. Let it grip you firmly as a waist belt.
Stand therefore, having 
girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, Ephesians 6:14

You are prone to wander from the Truth but His mercy endures forever. Humble yourself and allow His mercy to draw you to the Truth.
 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Proverbs 3:3-4

 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 

When you receive JESUS into your life, He comes to you as the Spirit of Truth Who will guide you into all truth from within you.

However, when He, the
 Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. John 16:13


For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the
 truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. 3 John 1:3 

Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding. Proverbs 23:23
Judas sold the Truth for 30 pieces of silver. Pilate sold the Truth to gain popularity with the people. Peter almost sold the Truth for personal protection. 


   Are you tempted to sell JESUS for anything?  When you know the love of JESUS in your heart, His power will set you free. 
    
 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32
JESUS, the Son of GOD is the Truth Who makes you free from every oppression of the devil.
 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36 


Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25 


Dying to self and living for JESUS is true freedom.
 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

 But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it! 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 
Any 'gospel' that offers salvation through any means other than the cross of JESUS CHRIST is false. 
Justification by any legalistic rituals or self imposed denials is hopeless. 
Any teaching that is towards selfish living is not of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. 1 Timothy 4:1-3 
 
 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truthJohn 17:17-19 
JESUS is the Truth, the word of GOD made flesh Who lives in us and sanctifies us.
 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Psalm 51:6

GOD dwells in the city of Truth.
 "Thus says the LORD: 'I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the LORD of hosts, The Holy Mountain.' Zechariah 8:3

Therefore receive the Truth, live the Truth and declare the Truth!
 Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise, And apply your heart to my knowledge; For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; Let them all be fixed upon your lips, So that your trust may be in the LORD; I have instructed you today, even you. Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, That I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth, That you may answer words of truth To those who send to you? Proverbs 22:17-21

May the  GOD of Heaven bless you richly and abundantly!!
