What is truth?

[paulnoel]

​

Truth is not a feeling. Truth is not an idea. The truth is found in the Bible. The cults are wrong because they do not have the truth. That is, they have a false understanding of God the Father, of God the Son, of the Holy Spirit, and the work of Christ on the Cross. Because they are in error in these things, they are in error concerning the doctrine of salvation.
Sincerity and good works do not bridge the gap of sin between God and man. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a person (Heb. 9:22; John 14:6). Sincerity and good works are merely the reliance upon what is in the individual to merit favor with God. Sincerity is a form of pride when it is appealed to as a justification for being accepted by God: "But God, look at my heart. See how sincere I was? I deserve to be in heaven."
No. If sincerity and good works were good enough to satisfy God, then He wouldn't have given us the Bible to correct our sincerely wrong ideas, and He wouldn't have sent His Son to do what our good works cannot.
Truth is what God says is true.

The truth is so beautiful in its simplicity. Yet there are truths that are not yet simplified. Truths that human minds cannot grasp and reason out because the truth lays hold upon subjects that are so elevated, so far-reaching, so infinitely beyond the power of human comprehension, that we can accept them only because God has declared them.

In every age there is a new development of truth, a message of God to the people of that generation. The old truths are essential; new truth is not seperate of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that the new can be comprehended.

Light shining on, and unfolding, fresh new truth glorifies the old. He who rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old. For him it loses its vital power and becomes but a lifeless form.

For example, there are those who profess to believe and to teach the truths of the Old Testament, while they reject the New. But in refusing to receive the teachings of Christ, they show that they do not believe that which patriarchs and prophets have spoken. "Had ye believed Moses," Christ said, "ye would have believed Me; for he wrote of Me." John 5:46. Hence their teaching of the truths of the Old Testament has lost it's vital life giving power.

 

[Servant4Yeshuah]

Yes...Yeshuah is truth! Isn't it wonderful that truth is in the form of our Beloved Yeshuah!

Merry Christmas my friends!

Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.

Amen...
