1. Learn the Truth.
Matt.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
John 1:17
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “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.”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 1.
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
2. Love the Truth.
10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts; So shall I meditate on Your wonderful works.
48 My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes.
Ps
78 Let the proud be ashamed, For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood; But I will meditate on Your precepts.
Ps 119.
97 Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.
Ps 119.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation.
148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
3. Live the Truth.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
Col 1.9-10
6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
