How to Recognize the Truth – John 8:31b, 32
“How to Recognize the Truth”
” … If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples
indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make
you free.” John 8:31b, 32
Truth is of God. Anything that is not the truth is not of
God. That which is contrary to the truth is a lie. Many today
are hung up on the beliefs and teachings of men. Philosophy,
psychology, sociology, and even theology that is contrary to
the truth of God’s Word is a lie. All of these may be usable
studies if they are consistent to the truth of God’s Word. The
Bible is the greatest Book on life and living and man (his
beliefs, mind, social interaction, etc.)
Therefore, truth is always contrary to that which is false.
A false impression is a lie because it is not truth. A false
accusation is false because it isn’t true. A false assumption is
false because it assumes truth to be false, and false to be true.
A lie is a lie, always, because it is false.
Truth is that which is both consistent and absolute. It is
truth established by God. The laws of nature are true because
God created nature and all on this earth. The Word of God is
true! Anything contrary to the Word of God is wrong and
sinful. The laws of science and math are true because God
created them. Truth does not change! People, governments,
and churches change-but truth never does! -M.D.
