Proverbs 23:23 exhorts us, "Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding." This verse emphasizes the great value of truth, equating it with wisdom, instruction, and understanding. Truth is a treasure that should not be compromised for anything else. In a world where lies and falsehoods abound, we are called to hold fast to truth, even when it is costly or difficult. Truth is not only a moral virtue but also a source of wisdom and guidance in our lives. When we seek the truth and apply it, we gain understanding and discernment. Truth enriches our lives, helping us to make decisions that align with God's will and leading us into deeper relationship with Him.
Job 27:4
My lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
2 John 1:4
I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
Proverbs 12:19
The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Psalms 117:2
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
