Truth

The Attributes That Are True of God and of Man (in a limited way):

Truth

Truth or veracity is God’s being and God’s knowledge eternally conformed to each other. Veracity is an agreement to, and consistent with all that is represented by God Himself. Veracity is God’s knowledge, declarations, or representations conforming to reality. Veracity means God is consistent within Himself, which results in “God is truth”.

Four Implications of Truth

Truth opposes that which is fictitious or imaginary.

Truth purposes that which come up to its ideal completely.

Truth corresponds exactly to reality.
God is what He declares Himself to be.
His declarations correspond to reality.

Truth means God can be depended on because He is immutable and that includes the truths of God.

Applications:

All truths are God’s truth, whatever may be discovered as truth, that discovery is God’s truth.

God’s truth is the ground for man’s truth, it is the basis for the truth that we discover, and that truth that we discover is really God’s truth.

We can trust God’s promises. They are true!

We must be truthful and not lie. We should be characterized by truthfulness in what we say, in what we do, what we write, and what we claim even things like our income tax (Prov. 6:16-17; Matt. 5:37).

We can judge what truth is, and what truth is not (1Jo. 4:6).
