http://lrpc.podbean.comDon't Get Lost: The Danger With “Your Truth”
John 18:37-38 NIV “… the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” “What is truth?” retorted Pilate.
What Is Truth? - Truth is absolute, constant, and true for everyone, everywhere, all the time.
What if “your truth” is a trap?
Proverbs 14:12 NLT There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.
Two Truths About Truth
1.Just because you believe something doesn’t make it true.
Jeremiah 17:9 NLT “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?”
The Danger With “Your Truth”
•There are no absolute truths that apply to all people.
•Morality becomes subjective because right and wrong are relative.
•My perception determines what’s true.
•I am the source of truth.
•If it’s true to me, you can’t question “my truth.”
2 Timothy 4:2-4 NLT Preach the word of God. ... Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
What we want to hear is often different from what we need to hear.
2.Truth isn’t just something we believe; truth is Someone we follow.
John 14:6 NIV Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
If Jesus’ truth is different from what you believe, then die to “your truth” and live according to “the truth.”
John 18:38-40 NIV “What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against [Jesus]. But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release ‘the king of the Jews’?” They shouted back, “No, not [Jesus]! Give us Barabbas!” ...
John 8:32 NLT “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
