You
Shall Know the Truth,
and the Truth Shall Make You Free
"If
you abide in my word, you are My disciples indeed. And you
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
(1)
"Jesus
said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through Me.' " (2)
"If
you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father,
and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with
you forever-the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him,
for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave
you orphans; I will come to you." (3)
"When
He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever
He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare
it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore
I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you."
(4)
"Sanctify
them by Your truth. Your word is truth." (5)
"And
the Word became 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
And of His fullness we have all received,
and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses,
but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has
seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the
bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (6)
"But
the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will
worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is
seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (7)
