For Those Who Seek The Truth
Truth is what we all seek. We all know the lies we have been told, which makes us all the more to seek the truth. With that in mind, here is some of what the Bible says about truth:
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:14)
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. (John 17:15)
They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (John 17:16)
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17)
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. (John 17:18)
And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. (John 17:19)
For more of your Bible study, here are some more verses:
Deuteronomy 32: 3-4 God is truth
Deuteronomy 32:9 God chose Israel. Jacob-Israel is God’s people
Deuteronomy 32:16-21 God loves us and gets jealous
Psalm 51:6, 10-13 Change my heart, cleanse me. But you have to desire the truth
Psalm 117: 1-2 God’s truth is forever; it never changes
Psalm 115: 9-18 We are blessed
John 8: 31-31 If you continue in His word, then you will be free from untruth. “Continue” means don’t stop.
John 8:44-476 These people are unconvertable
John 14:1-7 There’s only one Way to God. Jesus does not lie
John 16:13-16 The spirit of Truth. You must receive it
John 14:15-17 The world cannot be converted; they cannot receive the spirit of truth
I Timothy 4:1-2 Some will leave the faith because they are not strong
II Thessalonians 2:8-10 Some don’t care about truth; they just want to be right all the time
II Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
James 5;19-20 We are not allowed to have our own truth. Be humble enough to admit you’re wrong
II Timothy 2:15 Study! Work on trying to find the truth. Don’t be ashamed of the truth
Mark 8:34-38 Do no be ashamed of the truth of God
II John 1:1-4 and III John 1:2-4: the Truth lives in us and will be with us forever. Rejoice that we are walking in the truth!
A great list and a great message! Thank you!
It is frustrating that so many Christians choose not to live in the fullness of God’s truth. And I understand – It is hard, once you start to remove yourself from the world system teaching, the truth is much different than what they teach. It is hard to accept you have believed so many lies for so long.
One scripture that is would be good to add to your list is Galatians 3:29 – And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
The Israel of God is all believers in Christ Jesus (both Jew and Gentile) from Abraham on through ancient Israel up to when Jesus came and allowed Gentiles into the Israel of God, His family, and up to when Jesus returns.
Many Christians do not release we as the called out ones of God (what people refer to as the church) are part of Israel, but we are. All those who follow God in faith are part of Israel. This is the remnant of the faithful in each generation. As it was then, it is so today. God who is Jesus Christ, doesn’t change, He is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. His plan was always the same.
If only more Christians would study scripture and understand this, they would not get caught up in the Zionist teachings of secular Israel and the global world system of satan.
Blessings!

Thank you for your thoughts and support. There are many people who are searching for the truth, while, on the other hand, there are many people who don’t want to hear the truth. The best that we can all do is to pray on what we learn and to share it with others.
