SOLA VERITAS simply means, TRUTH ALONE! Truth alone makes all the difference. Walking the path of truth is exhorted by the Word of God in unequivocal terms. The LORD esteems it very high, and has placed it, rightly so, in the Decalogue…which we commonly call as, the Ten Commandments. – “16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” – Exodus 20:16. It only goes on to indicate to us, the value and worth of truth…it is inestimable…so also its blessings.
David speaking through Psalm 12:1-2, laments that “The Faithful Have Vanished from the Face of the Earth” a good 3000 years ago – “1 Save, O LORD, for the godly one is gone; for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man. 2 Everyone utters lies to his neighbour; with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
Paul, speaking to the Ephesian church, exhorts them some 2000 years ago, about the significance of speaking the truth, and walking in its path – “25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.” – Ephesians 4:25.
Now what is our position, and where do we stand in relation to truth, and our walk on it? Truth is not only inestimable and invaluable…rather, God Himself is TRUTH!!! “6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE…” – John 14:6.
"If I speak what is false, I must answer for it; if truth, it will answer for me."
