Truth
Spiritual Truth
Biblical Truth, to believers, is what God reveals which sets us free from:
– our fears (emotions) Romans 8:1
– our old nature (pride) John 8:31-33 1 John 2:16-17
– and religious bondage. Matthew 23:26 Gal 3:23 5:18
Truth is revealed to us, by God’s Spirit to our spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:12-13
To receive Spiritual truth, we must be born again by believing Jesus Christ is who He says He is. John 3:6-8
We must have a teachable spirit. The attitude of our Heart should be that everything good comes from the teaching of God. 1 John 2:20 27; 2 Cor 4:6-12
To have a teachable spirit, we must be abiding in the Spirit of Christ and not in what the Bible calls the desires of our Flesh. Ephesians 4:17-24
Truth is understanding the fullness of the Grace of God in such a way that we want to pass it on to others. Rom 5:8-10 Eph 1:19-23 ; John 13:35 Rom 12:10
Learning this relationship allows us to live by Grace and the New Covenant, rather than the laws and motivations of religion. Gal 2:20 2 Cor 3:4 3:5-6 John 6:63 Rom 5:5 7:6 1 John 4:16
If we do not learn how God “speaks” to us and teaches us to walk in the Spirit which is an attitude of our Heart, we will be doing works by walking in the flesh, which is usually motivated by other people.

This is the New Covenant. If you believe Christ is who He claimed to be, you have a new spiritual life. Rom 1:16
The New Covenant should always be defined by “life” rather than forgiveness. Christ’s death on the cross was certainly the sacrifice needed to satisfy the penalty of sin, but it did not give us the “new” life and new way of relating to God. Rom 5:10,8
Romans 7:6
Hebrews 10:20
This life is not so much defined as power to overcome sin in our life or empower us to service as it is the power to receive truth from God.
This is indeed a new way of relating to God.
People are innately selfish and generally misanthropic without some influence from outside of themselves.
Experiencing Truth, over time, renews our natural tendencies and changes us to love others. Change is the fruit of Truth which we learn by studying the Word and praying.
This is the New Covenant way. Trusting is based on what we experience over time.
