John 17:17
Sanctify them through Thy Truth, Thy Word is Truth.
The second manifestation of the Truth, is the Word of GOD. The Holy Scripture is pure Truth, because it comes from GOD who is the Truth. The Scripture is GOD breathed and His breath remains in the Scripture. II Timothy 2:15 says: Study to show thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of Truth. When you study the Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit guides you into all Truth and reveals the understanding of the Scripture needed to build you up. The Scripture has endless depth and the Holy Spirit opens the depth to those who study His Word.
The verse from John shows us that the Truth "sanctifies". What does that mean? To sanctify, means to set apart for Holy use; to make Holy. JESUS was praying that the believers in Him would be set apart from the world and made Holy as He is Holy; through the Scripture, the believer is built up in Holiness.
This is awesome, we can know the Truth in this life and be able to discern truth, study the truth and be built up in Holiness, today. This is possible through the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, leading us into all truth and sanctifying us in the Truth by His Word.
JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE; WALK IN HIS WAY, LIVE IN THE TRUTH AND BE TRANSFORMED BY HIS LIFE WORKING IN YOUR HEART.
