“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding” (Proverbs 23:23).
“Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth” (John 17:17).
If we want to know the truth about any moral and spiritual subject, we must go to the Bible, the Word of God. Today, many are denying that there is any absolute truth, and are trying to say that everything is relative. That is, they are saying that it all depends on the circumstances, and that what is right in one situation may not be right in another situation.
But we can depend on God’s Word for the whole truth, and in our second verse today we read that the truth sanctifies us, or sets us apart, from this world. However, there is a price tag attached to the truth. It will cost us time and effort to read, meditate upon, and live in the good of, the truth of God. It takes time to read the Bible, and when we put it into practice in our lives, we will face opposition from this world.
However, it is well worth the price, for having the truth of God enables us to walk through this world with confidence that in the pathway of the truth, all God’s power is behind us. We are able to look at every situation in this world through the eyes of God’s Word. We can understand what God is doing, and this will give us peace in a very troubled world.
