Two thousand years ago Pontius Pilate asked a deep and profound question that has rung down through the ages. During his questioning of Jesus when the Lord said that He came into the world to bear witness to the truth, Pilate responded saying, "What is truth?"
In this modern age of mass media with spin doctors and the use of "weasel words" it is probably harder to find the truth than ever before. Add to this those who hide behind political correctness and it is increasingly difficult to arrive at the truth in anything. But we are fortunate that the Lord also gave us a test to separate truth from error.
Where there is truth you will find freedom for the truth is liberating. Conversely, where there is bondage, slavery and people lording over others there is no truth but only lies. Truth stands like a beacon on a hill requiring little or no explanation. Even the American founding fathers said in the Declaration of Independence:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The body of Christ is the righteousness of the Ten Commandments written by Jesus upon the soul of the Christian, by the spirit of God. The Ten Commandments is joined to the soul by the blood of Jesus. The New Commandment is written in the soul of body of Christ. The Commandment written on stone brings the death angel. The Commandment written in the heart brings eternal life, and makes us worthy of eternal salvation. There is a veil of unbelief, over the carnal mind which blinds the mind to the glory of Jesus. The carnal mind cannot see Jesus. The veil is removed only upon repentance. Upon repentance the mind turns to Jesus and beholds the glory of the beauty and holiness of His majesty.
{ The Christian believer is a not a debtor to the flesh; to live after the flesh. For all that live after the flesh, shall die. The Christian through the Spirit mortifies the deeds of the body, and truly lives the abundant life. The Christian holds within his spirit the hope of the resurrection, and such is patiently waiting for the redemption of their body, in the first resurrection. Christ being raised from the dead is the first fruits, afterward they that are His at His coming. Christ brought us to birth by the word of the spirit of truth, so that the Christian Church can be the first fruits of his new creation.
} In the Christian sense if you are being caught in bondage of any kind, or if you are being asked to do something that is in conflict with the words of the Bible, then you can be sure it is not of the truth. If someone is seeking to take advantage of you or flatters you or makes a big deal of you for no just reason, then beware for they are not doing this from a position of truth.
Truth does not flatter and does not seek advantage. It doesn't need to. Only lies and liars need to be bolstered in such a way, as the purpose of a lie is to gain an unfair advantage.
So when you find yourself in a situation and are unsure whether what is being presented is truth or lies, ask yourself, "Will this liberate or bind me?" If the answer is bondage then it is not the truth for as Jesus said, "The truth will make you free."
