Thesis:
The NT represents truth as reality, building on the OT concepts of faithfulness and reliability.
Jesus Christ is shown as “the Truth” and the apostles present the gospel as “truth”.
Introduction:
We are daily confronted by the truth, and make decisions that activate truth for us or against us all the time.
A better life for so many, lies in the acceptance of the truth in those lives.
We ignore reality at our peril.
Ignoring and rejecting God is to refuse the abundant life, (this is humanities choose).
Your Free Will does not eliminate God, nor does it relieve you of the truth, (in fact we our indebted to God for choice).
Many do not see their destruction, because they do not deal in reality.
The Good News of Jesus the Christ is the Truth all men must face.
It will determine the presence of abundant life or not, (a quality life or not).
