Jesus Christ promised that when the Holy Spirit was given that a primary purpose would be to guide believers into all the Truth. (John 16:13) But we must not limit this to merely an understanding of Bible verses, or the ability to develop a correct theology. No. Jesus Christ is the Truth. In short, being guided into all Truth means that we will be guided into a knowledge of Jesus Christ that will set us free from all error.
To be guided into all Truth will eventually result in BEING MADE TRUE UNTO GOD. I will know the Truth and that Truth will alter me so that I can walk in the Light as He is in the Light. This is THE true relationship. It sounds funny, but the Truth makes it possible for us to walk with the Truth in the one True relationship.
But again – this is not a matter of being fed true information. Indeed, if I am to be guided into all Truth, it will be necessary to have all of the untruth about me exposed. Do you want to be made true unto God? Then expect that all that is untrue about you – false faith, attitudes, motives, and beliefs – must be exposed for what they are.
All God wants to do is tell the Truth about us so that we can, in turn, say the same Truth back to Him – which is the meaning of confession. This will make us true unto Him – not because of anything about us – because we will have then been adjusted to, and set free by, the Truth Himself.
John 16:13 (KJV)
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
