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 my voice' (John
18:37). And then Pilate asked, 'What is truth?' but he did not stop to
get an answer.
"The 'truth' to which Jesus often referred means righteousness, true
religion, the genuine revelation of the true plan of salvation. This
is what the apostle John referred to when he said, 'For the truth's
sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever' (2 John 2).
The 'truth' in these texts is used in a broad sense to mean the
whole range of revealed religion, the whole system of New Testament
salvation.
"Vast importance is attached to this truth. Opposed to it are error,
heresy, damnable doctrines of devils, human theories and philosophies,
leading souls away from God and into perdition. The eternal destiny of
men depends upon their finding and embracing the truth.
"If so much depends upon our finding the truth and obeying it, the
important question arises--how and where are we to find the truth? And
another question follows: How are we to discern the truth when we see
it? It is a fact that most religious people believe that their system
of religion is right.
