Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. – John 17:17
Throughout time, man has always sought the truth about various phenomena of life. This ageless search has driven innumerable expeditions and research that have resulted in numerous discoveries and inventions over the years.
As humans, we face numerous challenges that necessitate our efforts to understand and manage them more effectively. In this internet age, there is an abundance of information on any subject, ranging from the mundane to the most complex. However, there is also a lot of misleading information out there that could put one literally off-course or result in making a wrong call.
In the passage above, Jesus, while praying for His followers, asked that God sanctify them with His truth. Then He elaborated on what “truth” is; saying it is the word of God.
God has been around more than anyone living today. He has seen it all, from the primitive times when man had to depend on stone and other crude tools to survive, to the present jet age; God reigns, and His word remains the abiding truth in any life issue.
The Bible is one resource that has withstood the test of time. Although the years in which the books were written, their tenets remain relevant in all human scenarios. So, if you are searching for the truth on any matter, you need not look far away; reach for your Bible’s concordance and read what God has to say about it. And when you’ve found it, hold fast to it.
No matter what you read or hear anywhere on a given phenomenon, if such information contradicts what the Bible says about it, then it is not the truth. ‘Let God the true and every man a liar.’
You will succeed in Jesus’ Name!
