Truth (Part 4)
Sermon by John W. RitenbaughGod's Truth is symbolized by light, and fellowship with God requires walking in the light by responding to truth. God initiates the bridging of the chasm between Himself and mankind through truth from His Word, which is true. The Scriptures play a major role in the removal of deception and in drawing people to Christ, so that all shall be taught by God. People are introduced to truth by God through a mechanism that enables them to claim knowledge of God's Truth and fellowship with Him. The truth of God preached through the ministry reveals the Great God and leads hearers by the Spirit to accept Jesus Christ. Acceptance or rejection of the truth of God determines whether fellowship with God and others increases or decreases. The Holy Spirit enables people to put truth together so that they see not only the purpose but also the plan, and they yield to it in a way that allows them to live by faith. The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment by presenting arguments from the truth of God's Word until one admits errors and acknowledges the truth. The Holy Spirit also convicts that the absolute standard of righteousness for men is the life of Jesus Christ lived in the flesh. The true knowledge of God is central to life because that knowledge determines character, and character determines conduct, and conduct determines the quality of life.
