17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:17 (NKJV) 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

Nature of Truth John 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
