Buy the Truth and Sell It Not Prov. 23:23; Mat. 13:45-45

Introduction Sales persons and purchasers Buying/selling, practice of ancients Gen. 17:12,13; 23:3-16; 42:1-2, etc. Foodstuffs, real estate, precious metals, clothing, etc. “Price negotiation” Prov. 20:14 Getting price of a desired purchase indicated. Mat. 13:45-46

Introduction “Buy” and “sell” used figuratively to teach vital lesson. Prov. 23:23

Buy the TRUTH Urged to buy as a desired commodity Truth? God, a God of truth. Ex. 34:6; Dt. 32:4 Truth exemplified in Christ. Jn. 14:6 Thus, message coming forth of God is truth. Jn. 17:17; Eph. 1:13; Col. 1:5; 2 Tim. 2:15; Jas. 1:18 “Present truth” (gospel). 2 Pet. 1:12

Buy the TRUTH Why buy it? Will save. Heb. 7:25; Rom. 1:16 Need it to live Christian life. I Pet. 3:15; Eph. 4:21

Buy ONLY the Truth Be wary of counterfeits. Not every thing in the market place is legitimate. Satan has ministers. 2 Cor. 11:13-15 Other warnings. I Jn. 4:1; 2 Pet. 2:1 Examine before accepting. Acts 17:11 I Thes. 5:21

Buy ALL the Truth Great mistake—buying part truth or what is not truth. Some will accept part truth… Regarding salvation’s plan. Pattern of worship. (Leave off some, add other).

Buy the Truth REGARDLESS… Regardless of price. Cf. Mat. 13:45-46 Be willing to pay the price. Self-denial Family relationships Mat. 10:37 Business ties, popularity, etc. Even death. Cf. 2 Tim. 3:12; I Pet. 3:17; Rev. 2:10

BUY the Truth Not enough to hear it, or hear about it. Cf. Jas. 1:22 Not enough to “know it.” cf. Rom. 2:18ff Not sufficient to recommend it Will bless only if it is accepted

Buy the Truth NOW Don’t gamble on tomorrow. Jas. 4:14 “Today” Heb. 3:15; 4:7-9 “Now” 2 Cor. 6:1-2

SELL IT NOT Treat it as a permanent possession Don’t let livelihood, pleasure, or other matters separate you from it. Cheated even if for whole world. Mat. 16:26 Ruined eternally without it.

Conclusion Will YOU accept the truth? BUY it today. Accept Jesus and His word NOW. Sell it not!!!
