The Bible contrasts truth, which comes from God, and lies, which originate from the devil, finalizing this separation in John 18:37.
In John 18:37, Jesus reveals that those who are 'of the truth' hear His voice, which establishes a clear distinction between truth and falsehood. Throughout Scripture, we see that truth is associated with God, while lies are tied to Satan, who is described as the 'father of lies' (John 8:44). The first deception occurred in the Garden of Eden when the serpent distorted God's command, causing humanity to fall into sin. This theme of truth versus lies pervades the narrative of the Bible, ultimately culminating in the eternal judgment where the righteous are separated from the wicked (Matthew 25:31-46).
