Truth is Eternal and Unshakeable

Commentators emphasize that truth is established forever. This applies not only to individual true statements but, as John Gill notes, to the ultimate Truth of the Gospel and Christ Himself, who is eternal. Matthew Henry adds that truth will hold its ground and endure, even if it offends some people.
