2 Esdras 5:1

“Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come,that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number,

and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren offaith.” Apocrypha

John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and

truth.”

Character Defined by Truth

John 3:19-21 “19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather thanlight, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truthcometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” KJV

John 3:19-21 “This is the crisis we’re in: God-light streamed into the world, but men and women everywhere ran for the darkness. They went for thedarkness because they were not really interested in pleasing God. Everyone who makes a practice of doing evil, addicted to denial and illusion, hates God-light and won’t come near it, fearing a painful exposure. But anyone working and living in truth and reality welcomes God-light so the work can be seen for the God-work it is.”Message

True Worship

John 4:23-24 “ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

A Samaritan Woman Meets HerMessiah

John 4:6-264 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.

5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God,and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that

I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”

Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”

19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”

26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”

John 14:17

the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;

but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

The Coming Rejection

John 15:26

26 “But when the [a]Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,He will testify of Me.

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, butwhatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

The Certainty of God’s Witness

1 John 5:6 6 This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not

only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit whobears witness, because the Spirit is truth.

YHWH

Psalm 31:5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit;

You have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

Deuteronomy 3:4 4 And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city

which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region ofArgob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Isaiah 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself inthe God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swearby the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.

Zechariah 8:8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done intruth.

Psalm 86:15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Psalm 25:5 “Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” KJV

Psalm 86:11 “Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite myheart to fear thy name.” KJV

Perished

Jeremiah 7:28 28 But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

Isaiah 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

Jeremiah 5:3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, butthey have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.

Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.

Zion Zechariah 8:3 Thus saith the Lord; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the Lord of hosts the holy mountain.

Isaiah 59:4-15None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

8 The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

11 We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and utteringfrom the heart words of falsehood.

14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself aprey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no

judgment.

Born From Above

Christ Matthew 22:16

John 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth,

which I have heard of God, this did not Abraham.

John 18:37Pilate 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 myvoice.

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no

man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” KJV

Jesus Christ.” KJV

beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of theFather,) full of grace and truth.

The Word Made FleshJohn 1:14, 17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us;and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [Oneand] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly

unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth(absolutely free of deception).

17 For the Law was given through Moses, but grace [theunearned, undeserved favor of God] and truth came through

Jesus Christ.

Entrance to Light John 3:21 “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may

be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” KJV

Reality John 4:23-24 “A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers. 24 God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth (reality).” Amplified Ecclesiastes 7:18 “It’s best to stay in touch with both sides of an issue. A person who fears God deals responsibly with all of reality, not just a piece of it.” Message

1 John 5:1-3 “Every person who believes that Jesus is, in fact, the Messiah, is God-begotten. If we love the One who conceives the child, we’ll surely love the child who was conceived. The reality test on whether or not we love God’s children is this: Do we love God? Do we keep his commands? The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome.” Message

Revelation 3:5 “The reality test on whether or not we love God's children is this:Do we love God? Do we keep his commands?” Amplified John 17:8 “For the [uttered] words that You gave Me I have given them; and they have received and accepted [them] and have come to know positively and in reality [to believe with absolute assurance] that I came forth from Your presence, and they have believed and are convinced that You did send Me.” Amplified Joel 1:1-3 Get in Touch with Reality—and Weep! “ God’s Message to Joel son of Pethuel: Attention, elder statesmen! Listen closely, everyone, whoever and wherever you are! Have you ever heard of anything like this? Has anything like this ever happened before—ever? Make sure you tell your children, and your children tell their children, And their children their children. Don’t let this message die out.” The Message

Amos 5:18-20 “Woe to all of you who want God’s Judgment Day! Why would you want to see God, want him to come? When God comes, it will be bad news before it’s good news, the worst of times, not the best of times. Here’s what it’s like: A man runs from a lion right into the jaws of a bear. A woman goes home after a hard day’s work and is raped by a neighbor. At God’s coming we face hard reality, not fantasy— a black cloud with no silver lining.” The Message

John 7:16-19 “Jesus said, “I didn’t make this up. What I teach comes from the One who sent me. Anyone who wants to do his will can test this teaching and know whether it’s from God or whether I’m makingit up. A person making things up tries to make himself look good. But someone trying to honor the one who sent him sticks to the facts and doesn’t tamper with reality. It was Moses, wasn’t it, who gave you God’s Law? But none of you are living it. So why are you trying to kill me?” The Message

1 John 3:18-20 “[ When We Practice Real Love ] My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’llknow we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.” The Message

SanctificationJohn 17:19

“And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might besanctified through the truth.” KJV

thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.” KJV

Sincerity Isaiah 33:15 “He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;” NASB Psalm 18:20 “The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness (my conscious integrity and sincerity with Him); according to the cleanness of my hands has He recompensed me.” Amplified Jeremiah 5:1-3 – Spare Judgement“Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and take notice! Seek in her broad squares to see if you can find a man [as Abraham sought in Sodom], one who does justice, who seeks truth, sincerity, and faithfulness; and I will pardon [Jerusalem—for one uncompromisingly righteous person]. 2 And though they say, As the Lord lives, surely they swear falsely. 3 O Lord, do not your eyes look on the truth? [They have meant to please You outwardly, but You look on their hearts.] You have

stricken them, but they have not grieved; You have consumed them, but they have refused to take correction or instruction. They have made their faces harder than a rock, they have refusedto repent and return to You.” Amplified

Isaiah 48:1 “Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel and who come forth from the seed of Judah, you who swear allegiance by the name of the Lord and make mention of the God of Israel—but not in truth and sincerity, nor in righteousness (rightness and moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation)—“ Amplified Psalm 78:37 “For their hearts were not right or sincere with Him, neither were they faithful and steadfast to His covenant.” Amplified Psalm 119:1 “Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the undefiled (the upright, truly sincere, and blameless) in the way [of the revealed will of God], who walk (order their conduct and conversation) inthe law of the Lord (the whole of God’s revealed will).” Amplified

Him sincerely and in truth.” Amplified

And all the people then shouted,and said, Great is Truth, and mighty above all things.” KJV Wisdom of Sirach 4:25 “In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the error ofthine ignorance.” Apocrypha Wisdom of Sirach 4:28 – Steadfastness “Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee.” Apocrypha Isaiah 42:1 “This is my servant, whom I uphold, My chosen one, in whom I delight. I have put My spirit upon him, He shall teach the true way to the nations.” Jewish Study Bible

Lying – Deceit

John 8:44 “Ye 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.” KJV
