THE SOURCE OF DIVINE TRUTH I. God, who is our Creator, is the source of Divine Truth because it is impossible for Him to lie. "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hole upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have an an anchor of the soul., both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." Hebrews 6:18-19
II. Christ, who is our Redeemer, is the source of Divine Truth because it is impossible for Him to sin. "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps; Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. for ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and bishop of your souls" 1 Peter 2:21-25
THE MANDATE FOR DIVINE TRUTH I. We must hear the truth of God. "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy spirit of promise." Ephesians 1:13

IV. We ought to obey the truth of God. "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently." 1 Peter 1:22
V. We must worship the Lord our God according to His revealed truth. "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:24
VI. We need to speak the truth of God. "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." Ephesians 4:15

THE BLESSINGS OF DIVINE TRUTH I. The truth of God can make us free from our sins. "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32
II. The truth of God can dwell in us. "For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever." 2 John 2
