THE AIR WE NEED TO BREATHE

“So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’”  (John 8:31-32)

God tells us the truth about ultimate reality because He knows that we operate about as well without that truth as a car does on sand. (No wonder Jesus uses the expression "I tell you the truth" a few dozen times.) Seen in this light, the fact that God tells us the truth about Himself and everything else in the universe is one of the many ways in which He shows us His love.

Truth is the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual air that we need to breathe. When we act or speak against God's truth, we're only hurting ourselves.
