In John 18, Pilate was questioning Jesus and asked if He was a king. “You are right.” Jesus said, “I was born a King, and I have come into this world to prove what truth really is. And everyone who loves the truth will receive my words” (TPT). Then Pilate asked, lWhat is truth?” The Bible didn’t record Jesus’ answer. He had already told us that He is the truth earlier in His ministry. Truth is not something that you and I create, nor can we have our own truth since truth comes from God Himself. The truth is what God says over what your eyes see or your mind thinks. The truth of who you are is who He says you are, not what your circumstances try to dictate. His truth is greater than anything because His truth frees us from lies, overrides the lies of the enemy and sets us right with Him. We must learn to believe in and embrace His truth.
Here are some Bible verses on God’s truth.
1. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
John 16:13 NLT
2. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.
John 17:17 NLT
3. Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].
Philippians 4:8 AMP
4. For if you embrace the truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.
John 8:32 TPT
5. Put on truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.
Ephesians 6:14 TPT
