The Truth Will Set You Free

We live in a day and time where to most, truth is not something that is absolute. To many, truth is something that can be different for everyone. I think that if we look at the Bible, it is evident that the Bible is truth. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are truth. God does not lie and He does not change. His promises are real. Some of mankinds most common moral values are rooted in the truth of the Bible. Most every person on the earth would agree that murder is wrong. They would agree that lying and stealing are wrong. I want to proclaim to the world that there is an absolute truth and it can be found in Jesus.
"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. " ---John 14:6
"Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." ---John 18:37
"He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He." ---Deut. 32:4
" For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth." ---Psalms 33:4
" For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged." ---Romans 3:3-4
"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: "and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." --- Matthew 7:24-27
" I rejoice at Your word As one who finds great treasure." ---Psalm 119:162
" Buy the truth, and do not sell it, Also wisdom and instruction and understanding." ---Proverbs 23:23
"And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. " ---2 Thess. 2:8-10
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." ---John 15:1-2
"that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us." ---Hebrews 6:18
"in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began, " ---Titus 1:2
"Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in the LORD his God, Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever, " ---Psalms 146:5-6
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." ---John 8:32
"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. " ---John 8:36
