How does knowing the truth impact my relationship with God? - Truth - TouchPoints

Psalm 9:10Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

Psalm 89:2Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

Titus 1:2This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

We can trust God because he always tells the truth. Nothing he has said in his Word, the Bible, has ever been proven wrong or false. He created us in order to have a relationship with us for all eternity. God’s love is a reality we can rely on.

John 14:6Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

Romans 1:18God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

God wants us to accept the ultimate truth that only by following Jesus can we spend eternity with him. He wants to spare us from the terrible consequences of pushing this most important truth away.

John 8:31-32Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

1 John 2:4If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.

1 John 2:27You have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.

The truth sets us free from slavery to sin and its deception. Knowing the truth has an effect on how we live.
