<div class="SSN_title">"THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH"</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. WHAT IS TRUTH?</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. This was the cynical question of Pilate to Jesus.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The philosophers had been searching for truth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. One would establish a system of thought that would be accepted as truth. </div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Another would come and show the flaws.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Philosophy today concludes there is not a universal truth. </div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. They have returned to the cynicism of Pilate.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Pilate had asked another question, "Art Thou the King?"</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Jesus answered, "For this cause was I born and I came into this world to bear witness of the truth."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The truth is that Jesus Christ is King.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You need to submit to Him.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The truth is there is only one way to the eternal living God who</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">created the universe.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. All other ways come short.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Jesus said, "No man cometh to the Father but by Me."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">D. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I am not saying that you are necessarily a bad person. There are many good sinners.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. There are many bad sinners also.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. We are not talking about degrees.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The truth is we have all sinned (some more than others) and come short (some farther than others) of the glory of God. </div>
<div class="SSN_level2">E. Sin brings death and separation from God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. If a man says he has fellowship with God and walks in darkness, he lies.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Satan's first lie to man, "You will not die."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">F. God has made only one provision for man's sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. That provision is in His Son, and "he that hath the Son hath life and he...."</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE CONSEQUENCE OF REJECTING THE TRUTH.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. They will be deluded.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. I am amazed at the weird things men believe once they have rejected the truth.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. That this whole beautiful organized body was developed through trillions of fortuitous concurrences of accidental circumstances.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The hopeful monster theory.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. The peace and contentment can be discovered by chanting your mantra and contemplating your navel.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Man will believe a lie.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Having rejected Jesus Christ, they will hail the anti-Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Having rejected God's way, they will flock after man's way.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">C. They will perish.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. In spite of God's love and provision (<a onClick="return mV('Jhn',3,16);">John 3:16</a>).</div>
