“What is truth?…”
(John 18:38)

Knowing and obeying truth will keep one from error. Once we follow after error then we have believed a lie (II Thes. 2:11) or we know the truth, but  hold the truth in unrighteousness (Rom. 1:18). Both of these will eventually take us down some very dark paths. Those who follow dark paths will be held accountable, especially those who have knowledge of the truth. Here are modern translations of II Peter 2:20 & 21: “If people escape the moral filth of this world through the knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, then get tangled up in it again and are overcome by it, they are worse off than they were before.” (CEBA) II Peter 2:21: “Yes, it would be better for them to have never known the right way than to know it and to turn away from the holy teaching that was given to them.” (NCV).

It is very dangerous to ignore truth that has been revealed to us. God may not received us if we don’t receive and love truth. Those who consistently reject truth become like metal that has been tried, but did not stand the test. Simply put; It means rejected after testing (reprobate). The apostle Paul spoke to an entire church about this and, apparently, some were on the borders of being rejected (II Cor. 13:5). It’s ironic that some in the Bible “ever learned” but never came to the knowledge of the truth (II Tim. 3:7). Ultimately, truth leads us away from error! Truth is a path filled with light and error leads to dark paths (Prov. 4:18-19).  What road are you on today.?
