Part Four The Right Attitude Toward Truth

Part 1: Our modern world is suffering from truth decay … among many, truth is no longer 1) knowable, 2) absolute, 3) objective), or 4) universal Part 2: The Bible speaks of things that are true and of the nature of truth (truth is what conforms to reality) Part 3: One’s attitude and responsibility toward truth is not always what it should be (Isa. 59:14-15; Jer. 7:27-28)

Part 4: One’s attitude and responsibility toward truth can be right (1 Kings 22:16)

The search for truth is not merely limited to a search … truth must be obtained and secured “Buy the truth and sell it not…” (Prov. 23:23) “you shall know the truth” (Jn. 8:32) “received from us the word of the message … as it is in truth” (1 Thess. 2:13) “come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4)

The search for truth is not merely an academic pursuit or a hypothetical and theoretical exercise … truth must be put into use daily “he that does the truth” (Jn. 3:21) “worship in spirit and truth” (Jn. 4:23-24) “obedience to the truth” (1 Pet. 1:22) “thy children walking in truth” (2 Jn. 4)

The search for truth is not merely personal … truth must be preached to others for their good as well “in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth, the gospel of your salvation” (Eph. 1:13) “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15) “handling aright the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15) “fellow-workers for the truth” (3 Jn. 8)

The search for truth is not merely a casual pursuit; but we must beseech, implore, and entreat others to come to the truth as well “speaking truth in love” (Eph. 4:15) “repentance unto the knowledge of the truth” (2 Tim. 2:25)

The search for truth is not merely an impersonal object … truth must be personally defended against all attacks “the truth of the gospel might continue” (Gal. 2:5) “walked not uprightly according to the truth” (Gal. 2:14) “Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth” (Eph. 6:14)

The search for truth is not merely an obligation forced upon us … truth must be praised and adored in our life “every one that is of the truth” (Jn. 18:37) “rejoices with the truth” (1 Cor. 13:6) “we can do nothing against the truth” (2 Cor. 13:8) “established in the truth” (2 Pet. 1:12)

We can know truth (John 8:32) and God wants us to come to a knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:4) We are created by God and we are to follow his wisdom, not our understanding (Prov. 3:5; Jer. 10:23) We cannot know all there is to know, but we can know God’s truth (Deut. 29:29; Eccl. 12:12-14)

Truth does not decay, only those who hear it (Isa. 59:14-15; Jer. 7:28) We can be certain about what God wants for us (1 Jn. 5:13) There is nothing as good as the truth; there is no substitute for truth!
