COMMENTARY
What is truth? As Jesus came into the world to bear witness unto the truth, we will hear his testimony on the point. In his prayer to his Father in behalf of his disciples, he prays, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." John 17:17. TRU 1.2
The word of God is truth; and nothing he has ever uttered through the agency of prophets or apostles can have a higher claim to be called his word than the Ten Words which he spake from Sinai. Accordingly the Holy Spirit testifies by David, "Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth." Psalm 119:142. "Thou art near, O Lord, and all thy commandments are truth." Verse 151. The ten commandments are the truth, because they are founded on the unchangeable principles of truth, justice, and righteousness. The precept, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," is the truth, because there is no other God. And each one of these commandments expresses a great and important truth. The Sabbath commandments, no less than the rest, tells the truth. It says, "In six days God made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day." This truth cannot be abolished or changed. It is a fact-a thing done-and it cannot be undone. And as we are his creatures, we are ever bound to honor him as our Creator, by remembering the day of his rest to keep it holy. TRU 1.3Truth purifies and sanctifies the soul. "Ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth." Will obedience to error produce the same effect? If it will, it makes but little difference which we hold; but if it will not, it is of vast importance that we have the truth. TRU 4.2 by Ellen G White.
