-John 18: 37-38 -John 16: 13 -God will guide us in the form of the spirit of truth if we are willing to let Him into our hearts
-To do that, we will have to first humble ourselves and repent before the Lord. The true work is to guide us into the truth.
-The truth is the word of God and there are many characteristics to it: 1) The truth doesn’t change – it is timeless Philosophies and theories are being discovered/changed over time however, that isn’t the case with the word of God
-Hebrews 13: 8 -Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. -We can only place our trust in someone who’s words never change – so much so that there is no room for unrighteousness.
-If a person promises to be faithful up to 99.9%, the small margin for doubt thus still exists and that itself is sufficient to taint the genuineness of the that person’s faith
-We have to fully entrust our faith, there is no meeting mid-way.
-2 Tim 2: 13 -God cannot disown himself. -It is a tendency for man to be unable to fulfill their words even when the try their best at times – how many times are we disappointed with words like “I’m sorry that I couldn’t..”
-God can’t deny Himself for He is the truth
2) The truth concerning everything -Philosophers and scientist are in search for things that we lack understanding of this world.
-The Lord’s teachings are stated outright and are eternal. It brings to us the understanding of the purpose of man.
3) The truth will set you free -John 8: 32-34 -Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free
-All of us are slaves to sin. Are we able to declare ourselves unblemished and free of sin?
-Now there are some people who are understanding of the truth but defer their acceptance of the Lord because of the lack of freedom that entails
-Does having the freedom to gamble and drink a sign of being truly free? -We are only deceiving ourselves for these bad habits will lead us to being chained to those obsessions.
-Believing in omens and superstitions also deprives us from freedom – wedding dates, etc
-In Christ we have nothing to fear for everyday we are under His guidance and protection – it will set us free
-Conclusion: -When we compare the truth, the words of man is always changing (broken promises and aren’t able to withstand the test of time)
-The word of the Lord is eternal and will forever remain
