Where In The Bible Will I Find:

That Truth Is Necessary To Salvation?

Many do not seem to understand the importance of hearing, believing, and obeying the Truth today. Some suggest that Gospel preachers spend too much time emphasizing Truth, and man's obedience to it, instead of causing men to feel good in their sermons. Many today are not finding the Truth by which to be saved, for the same reason that a robber does not find a policeman...they do not want to!

It takes study to know the Truth (II Tim. 2:15; Jn. 8:32). Truth is necessary for man to hear, learn, and obey in order to accept the invitation of Christ (Matt. 11:28-30. Truth is the power sent by God for the salvation of all who will obey Christ (Heb. 5:8-9). Truth is the drawing power of God unto salvation (Rom. 1:16).

Please take your Bible in hand and read the following:

· Christians must be girded with Truth (Eph. 6:14).

· Truth must be rightly divided (II Tim. 2:15).

· The church of Christ is the pillar and ground of Truth (I Tim. 3:15).

· The Holy Spirit guided the apostles into all Truth (Jn. 16:13).

· The Word of God is Truth (Jn. 17:17).

· Christians are to speak the Truth in love (Eph. 4:15).

· Christ affirmed He was the Truth (Jn. 14:6).

· The devil has no Truth in him, but is a liar and the father of lies (Jn. 8:44).

· Christ came to earth, "full of grace and Truth" (Jn. 1:14).

· Christians must worship God in spirit and in Truth (Jn. 4:24).

· Love rejoices in the Truth (I Cor. 13:6).

· Obedience to Truth produces purity of soul (I Pet. 1: 22).

· Those who have not love for the Truth will be lost (II Thess. 2:10)

· Our Father rejoices when Christians walk in Truth (III Jn. 4).

· God wants His children to be helpers to the Truth (III Jn. 8).

· Children of God are to "buy the Truth, and sell it not" (Prov. 23:23)

· The judgment of God will be according to Truth (Rom. 2:2).

Hence, Truth is highly important!
