我们不能违背真理,总要拥护真理。真理是什么?神的话就是真理。真理不是科学知识,不是经验主义,不是哲学宗教,不是玄学杂说,真理只是神的话。神的话就在《圣经》里。
真理/神的话——可以使我们成熟,完全,真正认识这个世界,以至于无可指责(blameless),但是为什么那么多人还是糊涂,瞎眼,争战失败,软弱无力呢?那是因为这些人不但没有信心而且不爱真理,不爱读经,不爱神的话,他们爱世界,爱自己,爱安逸,图享受,把时间和精力浪费在无用的事情上唯独没有亲近主,怎么可能得胜,怎么可能结出属灵的果子呢?
拥抱真理吧,热爱神的话吧,读经吧,这样慢慢的才能有力量,有信心,活的像精兵!

正如经上所记:
他们不属于这世界,就像我不属于这世界那样。愿你在真理中使他们分别为圣,你的话语就是真理。( 约翰福音 17:16-17 标准译本 )
They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.( John 17:16-17 NASB )
所以,我们应当离开基督初步的道理,努力进到成熟的地步,不必在懊悔致死的行为,信靠 神,洗礼,按手礼,死人复活,和永远审判的教训上再立根基。 ( 希伯来书 6:1 新译本 )
Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, ( Hebrews 6:1 NASB )
我们不能作什么事违背真理,只能维护真理。 当我们软弱、你们刚强的时候,我们就欢喜;我们所求的,就是要你们完全。 ( 哥林多后书 13:8-9 新译本 )
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. For we rejoice when we ourselves are weak, but you are strong; this we also pray for, that you become mature. ( 2 Corinthians 13:8-9 NASB )
圣经都是神所默示的,对于教导、责备、规正、在义中的训练都是有益处的, 要使属神的人完备,为一切美善的工作,装备齐全。( 提摩太后书 3:16-17 标准译本 )
All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.( 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB )
但你们学了基督,就不是这样—— 如果你们真的听从了他,又照着在耶稣里的真理,在他里面受了教导, 为了你们脱去在过去行为上的旧人。这旧人顺着迷惑人的私欲受败坏, 而你们在自己的心灵里得以更新, 并且穿上新人;这新人是照着神的形像,在真理的公义和圣洁中被造成的。( 以弗所书 4:20-24 标准译本 )
But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.( Ephesians 4:20-24 NASB )
