WHAT IS TRUTH? Truth is an imperative. Jesus is truth. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Jn. 1:17 To know and embrace the truth is liberty. Jn. 8:32 Jesus promised that He would send another Comforter. one like Himself. The one sent, is the Spirit of truth. He is the teacher, He is the guide who will reveal truth to the people of the Lord. Jn. 16:13 The WORD of GOD is truth. The WORD has a sanctifying power set in motion in us, by the Spirit, and His illumination of the WORD to us. Jn. 17:17 Buy the truth. Embrace and love the truth that is found in Jesus Christ for it is life everlasting.
WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? Good question and answerable from the Word of God. Jesus himself bore witness of the fact that HE came forth from the Father. He also testified that He would return to the Father. Jn. 8:14 He was well aware that as the Passover approached His time to become the true Passover Lamb was coming. Jn. 13:1 In the prayer of the Lord Jesus as He prayed to His Father we find that He was commissioned of the Father to bring the Word into the world. He came from the Father and those who believe in Him receive the Word and believe in the Lord Jesus. Jn. 17:8 Coming from and being of the Father Jesus is the exact facsimile of the Father. When Philip asked to see the Father, Jesus responded, have I been so long with you and have you not seen the Father? Jn. 14:9 I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Just as we may have the Spirit of God within us but we are not the Spirit. We may also be in the Spirit and do the works of the Lord. But we are not the Spirit. The Father dwelt in the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus dwelt in the Father. The works and the words of the Father flowed through and from the Lord Jesus. Neither was the other but their relationship is of perfect unity and harmony. Jn. 14:10 Our longing and desire should be to have the same relationship with the Father and the Son through the person of the Holy Spirit. He wants that kind of a communication with His people. We have a high and holy calling.:END:
