Veritology--what does this word mean? Well, we found out that Del Tackett created this word for this lesson. Veritas means truth and ology means the study of. This was our first tour. We learned that truth starts with God-everything should filter through God as we study truth. Why did Jesus come to the earth? He came to testify of the truth. These are the questions we answered in our first session in the Truth Project. I was encouraged and reaffirmed in my faith. Jesus is the object of my faith. This is such a firm foundation. I hope all of you will grow and be encouraged in the Lord as you build or reevaluate [or reaffirm] your Christian World-view. Here are some verses to remind ourselves of what we learned. These are from the KJV which I think equally if not more so makes the truth powerful!!
John 18:37 (King James Version)
37Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
2 Thessalonians 2:13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
John 8:44
44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Colossians 2:2-3
2That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
Do you really believe, that what you believe is really real?
Think on these things!!!!!
