The Truth That Sets You Free
In a world full of opinions, feelings, and shifting ideas, one question still matters: What is truth? While many treat truth as something personal or flexible, God’s word stands as the unchanging standard.
Truth is not what we think or feel—it is what God has revealed. His word will not only guide us, but it will also judge us in the last day. If we want to be set free, we must seek the truth where it is found—in the Word of God.

David Hill: “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
We could stop right there. Hi—got a minute? The truth is synonymous with God’s word: His word is the truth (John 17:17), and the truth is His word.
It’s the standard—the truth, factually right, and cannot be wrong.
Truth is not an opinion. It’s been observed that “opinions are like noses, everybody’s got one.” Yet, some seem to confuse this matter of truth and opinion. Just because you think it, desire it, or love it doesn’t make it true. You see, God’s word is not to be played around with; it has eternal significance. But some don’t like it—yes, I realize that. It’s been that way throughout history. But it’s the Word, God’s word, that will judge you in the “last day” (John 12:48). So, it’s important to get it right!
Want the truth? Seek it in God’s word; buy it and sell it not (Proverbs 23:23). That’s the Gospel!
