To be sanctified is to be set apart. Given over to the truth, the truth that is the word of God. There are many voices in the world, and many "facts", but there is only one truth. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except by him.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt 4:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1Jn 2:4
In addition to beginning in the truth of his word, we continue in the word of truth, we choose to keep his commandments and he empowers us to do so.
Earlier I tweeted this:
 | StuGMD Set aside all philosophy and vain deceit, live according to the word of God. Too often we rely on our understanding instead of God's word. 2/22/14, 5:27 PM |
Let us come to the Lord in sincerity, humbling ourselves before Jesus, the way, the truth and the life and choose to follow the way of truth rather than the philosophies of men. Vain deceit is the way of men, it is deception which holds men in bondage to understandings which are not according to God, but according to a lie. No matter what men may see, no matter what they may say, they cannot know the way of life except by Jesus and the truth He brings.
