Jesus prayed: "Thy Word O Lord is Truth." (John 17:17) Our Lord said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6) The Bible teaches that the Word of God is Spirit and Life, (Phil. 2:16) and that Jesus also is the Word of God. (Rev. 19:13)

Both the Bible and our Lord Jesus Christ are referred to as the Word of God and only Jesus and the Word has the power to make people free! The Bible is the written Word of God and Jesus is the Living Word of God! And if you will believe it my friend, Jesus Christ will come out of the pages of this book and enter your heart! Our Lord Jesus Christ made the statement, "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house forever, but the son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (John 8:34-36)

The Bible states that anyone who commits sin is the servant of sin and is NOT FREE, but thanks to God, THE TRUTH WILL LIBERATE THEM! The Apostle John wrote, "If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)

Here are some very important facts about the TRUTH of GOD.

 "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." (Romans 10:17)

"How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:14)

"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)  "Take heed unto thyself, and unto doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee." (1 Tim. 4:16)   "Buy the truth and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction and understanding." (Proverbs 23:23)

"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His Majesty." (2 Peter 1:16)

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; rebuke,  time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears." (2 Timothy 4:2-3)

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

"If ye love Me, keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)

"If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." (John 15:7)

"Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed." (John 8:31)

"If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am a minister;" (Colossians 1:23)

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Jesus called the devil a liar and a murderer: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." (John 8:44)

He may tell some truths or half truths in order to deceive and enslave the human race, but he himself is TOTAL DARKNESS AND THERE IS NO LIGHT OR LIFE IN HIM!

When you receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, you say farewell to the kingdom of darkness and you are automatically translated into God's glorious Kingdom!

"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. Which is Christ in you the hope of Glory." (Colossians 1:26-27)

The Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (1 John 1: 1-5) "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

The Scriptures declare that sinful men rejected Him because their deeds were evil! They hated the Light and loved the darkness. (John 3:19) The Bible says, "In Him (Jesus Christ) was Life and the Life was the Light of men." (John 1:4) Again the Scripture says, "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." (John 3:36)

WHEN THE LIGHT IS SWITCHED ON, THE DARKNESS FLEES AND WHEN JESUS COMES INTO A LIFE IN HIS GREAT POWER, ALL SIN, FEAR, OPPRESSION, SICKNESS, DISEASE AND EVIL POWERS LEAVE! PRAISE GOD!

There are five glorious truths that I wish to set forth in this lesson, to help build your faith! As a stone mason lays block upon block, so I present these truths 'Scripture upon Scripture',  knowing that the Word of God creates faith in our hearts and faith gets the job done! Praise God!

"I am the Lord, I change not." (Malachi 3:6a)

Here, the Living God makes one of His most significant statements of fact. He is changeless, always constant and timeless! Nothing can alter that great truth! Men are born, live, pass on and are gone like the grass of the field, but God remains the SAME.

The Bible says, "And Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but Thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture shalt Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail." (Hebrew s 1:10-12)

WE MUST OBEY THE TRUTH

Here are five great truths about God:

The Psalmist David wrote: "Lord, Thou has been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God...

"For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." (Psalms 90:1-4)

"The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms..." (Deuteronomy  33:27)

"I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the Lord, and there is none else." (Isaiah 45:5-6)

"I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."  (Isaiah 45:12)

Jesus said: "All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

"For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." (1 Corinthians  2:18-25)

"To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen." (Rom. 16:27) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5)
