❖ ABSOLUTE TRUTH —The principle of relativity has been extended by some thinkers to the unjustified conclusion that all truth changes relative to circumstances. It would be paradoxical to say, “all truth is relative and no truth is absolute”. That is stating as absolute truth that there can be no absolute truth. The paradox is removed if we say, “Some truth is relative and some truth is absolute”.

➤ The Self-Deceiving Heart —We have seen that Jesus, if you are one of his followers, gives you a true self image, and imparts to you a self worth and destiny beyond your wildest expectations. Unfortunately most of us don't reckon our own personal potential in those terms. Thus we lead fruitless lives empty of true purpose.

➤ Christ's Retribution —When Jesus returns it will be a marvellous day for his saints. All who believed will enter the glory of God's eternal kingdom. But God's righteous judgment does not end there. Those who did not obey the gospel and those who afflicted his saints, will be repaid with affliction (2Thessalonians 1:5-10).
➤ One Truth, One Mediator, One Ransom —People will say that there are many great lights in the world. They are the teachers who have given the world great insights. That may be so, but when people count Jesus as one among the many, that is not true. He is the only Mediator between God and man (1Timothy 2:4-6).
➤ Pillar and Ground (1Timothy 3:15) —In the Bible, the church is not a place to be entertained. The church is “the pillar and ground of the truth.” We should look to God’s church to hear and receive God’s truth, not psychological hype or human idealism.

➤ Why I Believe the Bible —This lesson explains my faith in the Bible based on the three tests of truth that I apply to the Bible.
➤ The Authority of Jesus —Authority makes doctrine true. No doctrine is the truth unless it has the right authority, and no authority is valid unless it is based squarely on truth. Jesus Christ passes this test.
➤ The Humility of Jesus —Did Jesus have the same authority while on earth in the flesh as he had beforehand as the eternal Word, and has now as Jesus Christ exalted to God’s right hand?
➤ What is Truth? —Pilate asked the question, “What is truth?” It's an easy question to ask, especially in the spirit in which Pilate asked it. But what is the answer?
➤ Did God Really Say? —The first question recorded in the Bible was asked by the serpent in the Garden of Eden. “Did God really say that you must not eat from a tree in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1). We learn a lot from observing how the serpent, Adam, and Eve, each handled the word of God.
➤ The Way Back (1) —In the Bible, we read of 'the Way,' but in common speech it may be called 'the Way back' for the Bible Way is the Way back to God. Yet people in this world will not admit their sinfulness; they are self-righteous, thinking they are good enough to get into heaven.
➤ The Way Back (2) —To be saved, sinners must go further on the Way of Salvation than Faith. Peter said: 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).
➤ The Anchor of Truth —The first of five lessons on the theme “Anchors in the Storm”. In this lesson, we consider truth as an anchor when we are buffeted by storms of pagan ideas.
➤ You Shall Know the Truth (John 8:32) —Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Although some say we should not analyse the Bible minutely word by word, that's exactly what we are going to do with this statement of Jesus.
➤ The Worst Accusation —When you tell the truth to people and show them what the scriptures say, there will be some who say you are unloving and legalistic. They don't realise, however, what a very serious accusation that is.
➤ Fake News, Old News, Good News —The Bible is God's revelation to humanity. It is news from God to enlighten us. The Bible exposes fake news namely the devil's lies. The Bible informs us of God's old news namely the law of Moses. The Bible brings us the good news, namely the gospel or new covenant of Christ.
➤ Jesus, the Way Truth and Life —Jesus said to Thomas, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me'. There is only one way to heaven. That Way is Jesus and his word of truth. No other can grant us eternal life. So it's well worth thinking about the way, the truth, and the life. That's what we do in this lesson (John 14:6).
