What is truth?
Reality, Veracity, The way things actually are
God’s truth is the standard and source of all truth
Truth is consistent with everything about God because He is truth and His word is truth

Doesn’t originate with man or some organization or tradition
Father, Son, and Spirit

Every other religion is not truth because it is not based upon Jesus, who is truth
SPIRIT

It is revealed in clear and specific teaching found in the Bible
It is the whole truth…the source of light and life
The Bible is the verbal, plenary word…100% inspired (God-breathed)
His truth is objective because it doesn’t rely on feelings, circumstances, people’s opinions, etc.
Singular
Singular
Singular
It stands as one complete body of truth…there is no need to edit, add to or take away from it
It doesn’t contradict itself
Interwoven to create a perfect tapestry - theology, history, poetry, doctrine, law, prophecy
It is definite, definitive, and conclusive.
Truth is not abstract, vague, or nebulous.
It is accurately stated by the fixed meaning of words and can be observed, discussed, studied, analyzed, believed, proclaimed, and defended.
Immutable
Unchangeable
You cannot get more up-to-date that God’s truth because it doesn’t change…it’s always on target
Universal
All truth is God’s truth, wherever and however it is found — Arthur Holmes
It is transcendent over everything else
It is straightforward and trustworthy
Illuminating
We must have the light of truth to have the mind of Christ…to see things as they really are
Without it we are in the dark
With it…we have the ultimate advantage in navigating this life
Trustworthy
Trustworthy — a solid rock
Has never failed and will never fail
Historically sound, accurate, free of all errors and deficiencies
God is the source of truth…He is truth…making it perfect and inerrent
Authoritative
It is never a mere suggestion
It is sovereign because it’s source is God
It is demanding
It creates
It sustains
It has the right to rule
It demands a response
There is no salvation apart from it because it leads straight to Jesus
