The Bible says, โThe entirety of [Godโs] word is truthโ (Psalm 119:160). God calls on mankind to believe His Word, by faith.
When Jesus was on trial and brought before Pontius Pilate, he confronted Jesus face to face, asking, โAre You a king?โ Jesus answered, โYou say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voiceโ (John 18:37).
Truth is timeless. Truth does not differ from one age to another, from one people to another, from one geographical location to another.
Just because truth is unpopular does not mean that it should not be proclaimed. People are emotional beings, but emotions can deceive us. When truth is mixed with error, there is always compromise. We need to counter our emotions with the pure truth of Godโs Word.
If our minds and hearts are not filled with Godโs truth, something else will take its place: cynicism, occultism, false religions and philosophies, drugsโthe list is endless.
It is far better to know Godโs truth than to be ignorant of it. While Pilate declared that he found no fault in Jesus, neither is there indication that he ever accepted the truth that Jesus proclaimed. God calls on people everywhere to listen toย His Wordโand believe.
โIf you abide in My word โฆ you shall know the truth, the truth shall make you freeโ (John 8:31โ32).
