"If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth." (John 8: 31 - 32 RM)
A disciple is a student. Why is knowledge of the truth so important in our Journey of Faith? First, the Truth is Jesus Christ Himself. "I am the way, and the truth and the life." (John 14: 6) Secondly, a knowledge of Jesus Christ as Truth, that is, as ultimate reality sets us free from false truths that enslave us. The sun gives the constellation of stars their relative positions in the sky. So is Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the Omega. (Revelation 1: 8)
"Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." (St Jerome)
The first step in knowing Jesus is spending time in the Scriptures every day.
