Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true...think on these things.
true : unconcealed, true to fact, without partiality, and without hypocrisy
Truth comes from God , he has shown us truth through the law and the prophets and finally through his Son Jesus. Through Jesus we receive truth; He is the Word of truth.(John 1:1)
John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Having received the testimony of Jesus, we become new creations, sealed by the Holy Spirit. His Spirit testifies that Gods word is true.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
How can truth and error abide in our hearts? We are to choose to follow the word of truth, not worldly or demonic error. Sorry, no horoscopes for a child of God. We must speak the truth.
Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
God has shed his love abroad into our hearts, We are to love one another without deceit. No hidden daggers of jealousy or gossip.
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Remember, the devil is a liar and no truth dwells in him. Jesus was aware of those leaders around him who were evil and had no truth.
Joh 8:44 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.
The truth is, that if you love God then you will love truth. God's love comes to us in his truth. If we love truth then we will hate lies and dishonesty. Our recent election was not done in truth. Will we be able to correct the illegal vote counting? Will it make a difference? There will be consequences, we must trust God.
