This penetrating question, asked by Pilate in the closing days of the book of John, is one of which the world is still asking. Allow the God inspired gospel according to John to answer this query.

First, Jesus (the Word in flesh) brought the truth to man.

John 1:14,17; 14:6 – “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”. . . “For truth came by Jesus Christ” . . . “Jesus saith unto Him, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Second, those that follow the word of truth are wrought in God.

John 3:21 ; 4:23,24; 8:31, 32 – “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” . . . “But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.” “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, ‘If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free’.”

Third, the word of God taught and written by inspired men to man is all the truth without any further revelation.

John 17:17, 19; 16:13 – “Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth . . . and for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth” . . “How be it when He, the spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever he shall hear that shall He speak, and He shall show you things to come.”

Jesus told Pilate . . .”Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice.” John 18:37. If you are a modern day Pilate who sincerely is in search of the truth, look no further. God’s word (the Bible) is truth. Steven K. Guy
