The Doctrine of God - Truth of God
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
The word truth is used in Scripture in two ways: true as contrasted with false; and genuine as contrasted with unreal. Although both apply to God, when we speak of the truth of God, normally His genuiness is contrasted with false gods or other religions. The Scriptures in this sense declare Him "the only true God" (John 17:3).
Illustration: When Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, he challenged them to evaluate the genuineness of the Lord and of Baal (1 Kin. 18:21). The true God answered by fire.
Application: Because the Lord is God, we are obligated to Him in all He demands.
