John 17:17 (NKJV)
17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
NATURE OF TRUTHJohn 17:17
Does Truth Exist? Statement – “Truth does not
exist” Is that statement true or false? If it is false, then truth exist If it is true, then truth exist Logical to believe that truth
does exist
Desire for Truth John 18:33-38 Pilate asked, “What is truth?” We might ask the same
question today Many wonder what the truth is Looking at the various
doctrines…
Can we know the truth?
Is truth attainable? How do we know what is truth
and that we can believe it? Jesus said, “And you shall know
the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
We can know the truth!
Great news! We can know the truth! The question that remains is…What
is truth? Jesus made a very important
statement to that effect in Jn. 17:17 “Sanctify them by your truth. Your
word is truth.”
Is God’s word the truth?
How can we be sure, in a world filled with lies?
God of truth – Deut. 32:4; Is. 65:16
God cannot lie – Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18
Bible, history, nature, all prove Him true
Truth proved true God’s promises have always
come true Warnings & prophesies have
always come to fruition What about statements in the
Bible that are lies?
Lies in the Bible? Gen. 3:4 – Satan’s lie Bible records what is true, in
that it was true that Satan spoke those words
We need to understand that the facts are recorded, even if they are spoken as lies
Nature of Truth Truth is universal For all men, everywhere, at all
times Matt. 28:19-20 Each generation is to teach all
that Christ commanded
Nature of Truth If this is true, we should still be
preaching the same gospel to everyone today
Acts 17:30 – All men everywhere to repent
Tells us that the truth is universal
Nature of Truth Truth is final Matt. 24:35 – “My words will by
no means pass away” Jude 3 – faith = once for all
delivered Compare that to the sacrifice of
Jesus being once for all (Rom. 6:10; Heb. 9:12,26; 10:10)
Nature of Truth Truth is unchangeable We, nor anyone else has a right
to change what God said Gal. 1:6-9 Even if an apostle or an angel
changes truth, he is accursed
Truth for us Words of the Bible are still just
as true today as they ever were It’s still true that you need to be
a part of God’s kingdom to go to heaven
It’s still true what we need to do to become a child of God
