Aletheia

This is a greek word that means "Truth". In the Old Testament the Law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ (John 1:17). So what exactly is truth? Pontius Pilot asked this question to Jesus as he was put on before a trial. Amazingly Pontius walked away from the most authoritative person in history after asking one of THE most important questions ever to be asked! Jesus said, "For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world, to testify to the truth (John 18:37). John 14:6 says Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." The word Truth is found in the New Testament 109 times in different form. Truth is obviously important in the scriptures and the only way we can find truth is in Christ! John 8:32 also states, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth shall se you free! We have fallen short of the glory of God and the only way to Life is Jesus Christ! In Romans Paul writes a letter to Rome about how many of the people exchanged the truth of God for a lie by worshipping created things instead of the creator (Romans 1:25). Truth is found in the word of God. John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them in truth; your word is truth. Truth is also revealed by the Spirit of Truth. Before Jesus ascended into heaven he told the disciples that it was good for him to leave them because he would send a Helper. This helper is the spirit of Truth or as most know one of three within the trinity, the Holy Spirit. As we read the Word of God, the Spirit guides us in truth! TRUTH is Important in our lives and it is important for us to follow and live by the Truth! I hope that this post encourages you and that the truth will set you Free!
