The Truth of The Word of God

The Bible is as unique among books as Jesus Christ was among men. It is the only book that claims repeatedly and consistently to be “the Truth.”

It begins with the majestic words: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” It does not argue the case; it simply states it as TRUTH. Its introduction to the Bible’s prophecies is: “Thus saith the Lord,” and a hundred fulfilled prophecies prove that the Bible is indeed “the Word of God” — as “the Truth.”

Without apology the Bible refers to “the Truth” as seen below and many more times:

  • The “manifestation of the Truth (IICor.4:2).
  • The “knowledge of the Truth(IITim.3:7).
  • Those who “have erred concerning the Truth” (II Tim.2:18).
  • Those who “resist the Truth” (IITim.3:8).
  • Those who “hold [hold down, suppress] the Truth in unrighteousness” (Rom.1: 18).
  • Those who “turn away their ears from the Truth (IITim.4:4).
  • Those who “believe and know the Truth (ITim.4:3).
  • Those who “acknowledge the Truth (Titus1:1).
  • Our Lord said to His Father: Thy Word is Truth (John 17:17).
  • Paul wrote to those who were saved when they “heard the word of Truth, the gospel of [their] salvation” (Eph.1:13).

Where the Truth is concerned, God’s Word is all we need, for:

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine,

for reproof, for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV)
