The truth believed, by its very nature, can never forsake you. While there may be times when the truth may seem obscured or even hidden.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 1 Cor 13:12 NAS

In the end, the truth will appear no matter who denies or tries to stop it. Like the sun behind the clouds, the truth always comes out, always there, finally revealed beyond all possible doubt.

Truth corresponds with reality and does not show favoritism or partiality.

For God does not show favoritism. Rom 2:11 NIV

For there is no partiality with God. Rom 2:11 NAS

The truth will never change no matter what others may believe.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Heb 13:8 NAS

"For I, the LORD, do not change…” Mal 3:6a NAS

Truth cannot contradict itself and become a lie.

In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, Heb 6:17-19 NAS

The truth will never leave, vanish or forsake you.

The truth will never, ever, forsake you and leave you ashamed. No matter how dark the world may be and how much the truth has been obscured, when all is revealed truth will without question prevail.  

“No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. "Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Joshua 1:5 NAS

The truth will never leave you ashamed. Like Paul, we can offer the truth without fear.

For with the heart one believes (the truth) and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses (the truth) and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him (the truth) will not be put to shame.” Rom 10: 10-11 NAS (emphasis mine)

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Rom 1:16 NAS

The truth is the rock upon which we stand if our faith is in Christ.

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. “And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. “The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matt 7 24-27 NAS

All that Jesus promised us in John 3:16 and all the other promises, who He claimed to be, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, is The Truth that will never change or forsake us. The truth believed that will save all who have turned to Christ so that God can save them. 

 “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” so that we confidently say, “THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?” Heb 13:5-6 NAS

Jesus embodies the truth in who He is and in all He has promised. This is the truth.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and The Truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 NAS

The truth will one day be revealed beyond all possible doubt. At that time, it will be impossible to deny the truth and too late to be saved by it. The Son will have come out from behind the clouds to bring justice to all the earth. 

So that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:10-11 NAS

If you have not changed your mind to believe the truth, to trust in Jesus, today is the day. 

Many more New Covenant Bible Studies HERE. Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross. 

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20
