Above all we must love the truth.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." - John 14:6 KJV
By His gospel Jesus is the way, so that we can now come to
Him in peace. (Colossians 1:20). The gospel of Jesus is the truth. (Ephesians
1:13). By the gospel of Jesus, He brought us life. (John 10:10-11, 17).
The Bible tells us that the truth is the gospel - that Jesus
died for our sins, He was buried, and rose again the third day. (Ephesians
1:13, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The Bible tells us that we obey the gospel by becoming
dead to sin (repentance), buried with Him by baptism in Jesus name for the
remission of our sins, and rising to walk in new life with the infilling of His
Holy Ghost. (Romans 6:1-6, Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4). We are saved by the truth - the
gospel of Jesus.
The Bible tells us to “buy the truth and sell it not.”
(Proverbs 23:23).
The Bible also tells us, if we are going to be saved, we must
have the love of the truth.
"And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them
that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might
be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 KJV
