What is truth?

We take a look at the conversations between Jesus and Pilate in John 18:38
John 18:38
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

With all the deviation and the substitution with mans 'ideas' and 'tradition' as we see today, its getting very hard to an answer, that 'rightly dividing the word of truth'. We see how many handle truth today, basically for the sake of appearance. Many 'talk the talk' but do little of the 'walk', its a cosmetic truth for show and not for real. We find how the Jews wanted to receive the Passover, but not receive the One to whom the Passover meal pointed. Their religion was for show but not for real, basically a form of godliness but...

2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Jesus came to tell the truth about God, the truth in His Word, and the truth about life. So how do we find out the answer to Pilates question?

Simple, brother. We take the Word of God at face value, comparing scripture with scripture, approaching it humbly, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and then accept that as the sole standard of Truth ... whether we particularly like it or not. And, regardless of our own weaknesses, God in his absolute supreme omnipotence will, without question, most definitely sanctify us with His Word. After all, His Son asked Him to. John 17:17.
