John 8:31-32 records, “Then Jesus said to those who believed on Him, ‘If you abide (live, remain, or stay) in My word, you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.’”
Jesus didn’t say we create or determine the truth, He said the truth is something we come to know. Interestingly, the word “know” in this passage has a participatory connotation to it; it’s not just a knowledge ‘about’ the truth but actually a ‘participation’ with or ‘joining’ to the truth. Again, whether we believe the truth about us or not doesn’t determine whether it is true; our belief simply allows us to experience the life and freedom of what is true.
