The Truth of God: we should Pray for Its Exhibition to Others
Jump to: Torrey'sLibrarySubtopicsTerms

The truth of God is a central theme throughout the Scriptures, representing His divine nature, His Word, and His revelation to humanity. As believers, we are called not only to embrace this truth but also to pray for its manifestation and exhibition to others. This entry explores the biblical foundation for praying that God's truth be revealed to all people, emphasizing the transformative power of divine truth in the lives of individuals and communities.

Biblical Foundation

1. God's Truth as Revelation: The truth of God is revealed through His Word and His Son, Jesus Christ. In John 17:17, Jesus prays, "Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth." This verse underscores the sanctifying power of God's truth, which is essential for spiritual growth and holiness. As believers, we are encouraged to pray that others may come to know this truth and be transformed by it.

2. The Role of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in guiding individuals into all truth. In John 16:13, Jesus promises, "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth." Praying for the Holy Spirit's work in the hearts of others is vital for the exhibition of God's truth, as it is the Spirit who convicts and enlightens.

3. The Great Commission: The call to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20) inherently involves the dissemination of God's truth. As we pray for the exhibition of this truth, we align ourselves with the mission of the Church to teach and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

4. Intercessory Prayer for Others: The apostle Paul frequently prayed for others to come to the knowledge of God's truth. In Ephesians 1:17-18, he writes, "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better." Paul's example encourages believers to intercede for others, asking God to reveal His truth to them.

5. The Power of Truth to Set Free: Jesus declared in John 8:32, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This freedom is not only from sin but also from ignorance and deception. Praying for the exhibition of God's truth is a prayer for liberation and transformation in the lives of those who are bound by falsehood.

Practical Application

· Pray for Leaders and Teachers: Pray that pastors, teachers, and leaders within the Church would faithfully proclaim God's truth, and that their words would reach and impact those who hear them.

· Pray for Unbelievers: Intercede for those who have not yet come to faith, asking God to open their hearts and minds to His truth, that they may experience the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

· Pray for Cultural and Societal Influence: In a world often resistant to absolute truth, pray for God's truth to penetrate cultural and societal barriers, influencing laws, ethics, and public discourse.

· Pray for Personal Witness: Ask God to empower you and other believers to live out His truth authentically, serving as a testament to His transformative power in everyday life.

In praying for the exhibition of God's truth to others, believers participate in God's redemptive work, trusting that His truth will prevail and bring about His purposes in the world.
