He said this to Pontius Pilate when being questioned about whether He was truly the King of the Jews.....OH, the irony of Jesus being on trial, right? Can you imagine questioning Jesus? "Do you promise to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth....so help you God?"
Ummmmmmmm.....YES!
JESUS is our testimony of TRUTH wrapped in LOVE. Everything He said, TRUTH.....everything He did, TRUTH, His righteous anger, TRUTH, His gracious forgiveness, TRUTH, His choice to meet with sinners and call them out in love, TRUTH.
We sin when we choose to believe lies instead of truth. When we have our version of the truth or want to say others have a right to their own truth we think we are being loving or accepting, but when we do not base these beliefs in God's Word....those lies cause us to become captives. God has given all of us the ability to embrace truth or reject it....that is free will...but free will doesn't change truth or give us permission to create multiple truths. Only the truth in God's Word imparted to us through the presence of the Holy Spirit can release any of us to beautiful freedom.
Jesus came to break the power of evil by giving us the testimony of TRUTH so we can use it to stand against the lies....His sacrifice to give us the way to our salvation is incredible, but we can only be victorious if we choose to know and acknowledge the TRUTH....to keep seeking it through our knowledge of God's Word which gives us wisdom to live it out.....and to follow Christ's example and testify to it. We are triumphant because of His blood and the word of our testimony.
