Truth in the Bible
*1. God's Nature:*
- **John 14:6**: Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." This verse indicates that truth is integral to the nature of Jesus.
- **Numbers 23:19**: "God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" This emphasizes that God is truthful and faithful.
*2. The Word of God:*
- **John 17:17**: "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." The Bible itself is considered the ultimate source of truth.
*3. Moral and Ethical Conduct:*
- **Ephesians 4:25**: "Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body." Christians are called to live truthfully.
Transparency in the Bible
While the term "transparency" is not explicitly used in most biblical translations, the concept is closely related to honesty, openness, and integrity.
*1. God’s Transparency:*
- **Hebrews 4:13**: "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." This speaks to God's omniscience and the idea that nothing can be hidden from Him.
*2. Human Conduct:*
- **2 Corinthians 4:2**: "Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God." Paul emphasizes the importance of honesty and integrity in ministry.
*3. Living in the Light:*
- **1 John 1:7**: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." Walking in the light is a metaphor for living transparently and righteously.
