John 17:13-19
God's Word is Truth
13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
Pastor and author Colin S. Smith wrote, “The Bible is different because it is the Word of God, by which He speaks to me...Disagreeing with the Bible would be disagreeing with God...So when I read the Bible I want to place myself ‘under’ it...I want to receive the Scripture in such a way that over time, my thinking, feeling, choosing, believing and behaving will be molded by the Word God is speaking into my life...I don’t want to critique the Scriptures; I want them to critique me and change me.”...
I believe that Jesus knows the Bible and God better than any one, because He is the Bible...He fulfills the Bible...The Bible is the Word of God...The Word of God is Truth...So when Jesus said God's Word is Truth, we should as believers believe that the Bible is our guide in life...And that Jesus is our Teacher and Master and Guide to and through our lives...If God's Word is Truth then disagreeing with what is written in Scripture is disagreeing with God...
So let us follow the Bible, and follow our Guide as the Way we will lead our lives...
