The Power Of Truth

Preacher: Pastor Jose B. Cabajar
The word “Truth” in the Bible and its usages are
obviously associated with the Word of God and the
Lord Jesus Christ. Truth is powerful and no man can
conquer the truth, not even the father of lies.
Outside Truth, human race will live totally in
darkness and no man could live a pleasing life
before God Almighty.
The presence of truth not only gives delight to the
just but also brings shame to liars. Truth is always
truth and it never changes. Truth is a must-have
treasure of a man. In I Timothy 2:4, it is written,
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto
the knowledge of the truth. (KJV) This verse
from the Bible tells us that God wants people to be
saved and to become knowledgeable of the truth.
Truth must be loved and not to be hated. He who
loves the truth loves the Lord Jesus Christ and he
who despises the truth will be condemned. In II
Thessalonians 2:10-12, it is written, And with
all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause
God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness. (KJV) What a dreadful warning!
The Bible contains numerous warnings and these
warnings, if strictly observed, will surely save us
from unpleasant troubles of life. The devil wants
people to become his prey, and he is doing his best
to trap men by his deceitful offers, but through
applying the Word of God, we could overcome him
valiantly and enjoy the power of truth.
(I) Its Liberty-giving Power
John 8:31-32
-It makes people free
(A) Free from falsehood
(B) Free from the bondage of
Satan
(C) Free from the bondage of sin
(II) Its Sanctifying Power
John 17:17-19 I Peter 1:22
-It makes believers holy
-It purifies believers
(III) Its Access-giving Power
John 14:6 Psalm 145:18
John 4:23-24
-It gives human race access to
God
(a) It draws man closer to God
(b) It makes man a true
worshipper
Truth is what the world needs
today. Christians are in the right position to tell
the truth and significantly display its power, but
if they will not proclaim the truth, lost souls will
die and go to hell without hearing the Gospel. Truth
is a God-given treasure to be enjoyed and to be
shared to the world so that unsaved souls will be
enlightened and come to the saving knowledge of the
Lord Jesus Christ.
