Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Throughout the scriptures there is that which
God
designates as “the truth.” It is
divine
, and above the opinions of men, however wise and pious they may be. In the
Old
Testament
the admonition is given, “Buy the truth and sell it not” (
Prov. 23:23
23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23:23)
). “The truth” must refer to God, who is true, but is not called “the truth:” hence it comprises all that may be known of God, whether declared by
creation
or made known by revelation. Truth is not simply that which is held as dogma, but must be received in the
soul
.
Paul
asked the Galatians who had hindered them that they should not
obey
“the truth?” (
Gal. 5:7
7
Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? (Galatians 5:7)
).
Judgment
is coming upon Christendom “because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved” (
2 Thess. 2:10
10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:10)
). Truth is the real way of
liberty
: “the truth shall make you free” (
John 8:32,36
32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)
36
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (John 8:36)
). Truth cannot be separated from
the
Lord
Jesus
, who is “the way, the truth, and the
life
.” This is objectively; subjectively the
Spirit
is the truth as having come from the glorified Christ. In the
three
Epistles
of John “the truth” is constantly referred to, and a
Christian
woman
is warned not to receive any one into her
house
, nor wish him God-speed unless he holds the doctrines taught by the apostles—in other words, “the truth.”
