“WHAT IS TRUTH?” In John 4:24 “…God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." NKJV John 16:13 However, when He the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; … Anointing in the New Testament also refers to the anointing of the Holy Spirit, which brings understanding (1 John 2:20, 27). This anointing is not only for kings, priests, and prophets; it is for everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. The anointing occurs physically with a substance such as oil, myrrh, or balsam. But this is also a spiritual anointing, as the Holy Spirit anoints a person's heart and mind with the love and truth of God. (From Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary) Prov. 23:23 Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding. The heart (and mind) needs to be guided and governed by Truth. Renew your mind, our understanding needs to be well informed with wisdom and instruction. Ps.119:163-” I hate and abhor lying, But I love Your law.” NKJV We must be willing to part with everything for it. TRUTH is that pearl of great price, which, when we have found it, we must willingly sell (give) anything and everything for it, Matt 13:45-46. Buy the truth, buy it at any price whatever it cost you rather than miss it. We need to apprehend it with all our might, and put forth all our effort getting it, seek every opportunity to gain more and keep it. Let’s pray, " Father, take my heart, as it is, and make it as it should be; take possession of it, and set up Your throne in it." When Pilate asked Jesus: 37 "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." 38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" NKJV He conquers by the convincing evidence of truth; He rules by the commanding power of truth, and in His majesty rides prosperously, because of truth, Ps 45:4. Ps 96:13. “He shall judge the people, with His truth” Every one that has any real sense of belief in One God will come to the Christian religion, and they belong to His kingdom; by the power of truth He makes them willing, Ps 90:3. All that are in love with truth will hear the voice of Christ. “Some Christians have, special and favorite paths which they always follow, and which lead them to certain viewpoints which particularly fascinate them, although quite admittedly they open out on only a narrow and particular point on the whole mountain range of truth, as though the heart and fullness of the whole truth centered just there.” “Some people always follow the particular thought path which brings them to their favorite view place, and regard with deep distrust any suggestion that they might take a look at the range of truth from quite a different angle. Worse than that, things which are invisible from their own viewpoint they denounce as untrue, as heresies, if they would only dare to venture a little further on and look honestly from a rather different angle they might conceivably see that these heretical and perhaps distorted ideas are really part of another glimpse of the full truth. It is truth, and not our partial understanding of it, which saves.” Matt 26:63. The high priest said to Jesus, "I adjure You by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” John 14:16"If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter." When my Father speaks, when the Spirit lives and breathes in the truth to which I listen, when Jesus Christ Himself draws near to me in the preaching of the gospel, then it is that the Word becomes sweet unto my taste, Ps.119:103. John 18:37-38
