The definition of Truth is Exclusive. which does not include in the common. Christian Truth is the trust in a person. The person of Jesus Christ.
Key Verse: John 18:33-38
In the conversation with Pilate, he asks Jesus, what is the truth and walks away. We have actually no account of what exact conversation has happened. However from the account of the Bible we understand that it is the Gospel that was told to Pilate. How do we infer the same, from the following verses:
- The reference of Truth: In John 7:17 Jesus says : Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or I speak on my own."
- The action of Truth: In John 8:32& 33, Jesus Says " If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." In this two verses we understand that if you have a conformation that Jesus is the teacher you will keep you mind free from other elements and it will be free to GOD. Also Jesus is affirming that he is the Teacher from God.
- The Ultimate Goal of the Truth: In John 14:6 &7 Jesus Says " I am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on , you do know him and have seen him. what Jesus really means is that He is the truth that you are looking for. He is the ultimate teacher of the truth and you will know that GOD the father has his path through him. Eventually deciding that Jesus is the only way for reaching the infinity GOD.
The Cross: The reason of the Death, the Resurrection and Life is because he is the ultimate truth for connecting you with GOD.
Closure Verse: 1 John 2:4,5,6 - Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.
But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
