Have you noticed that very few people today know what truth is? If you were to ask your friends, What is truth?, I think you'd be surprised by their answers. Why not try it? :)
How would you yourself answer the question, What is truth? Here is a hint from John 14. Jesus had just told His disciples that He was going away and that they knew the way to where He was going.
Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered Thomas with these words: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Did you get that? In this sentence, Jesus said He is the Truth! WOW! So, Truth is a Person. Now, how many of your friends would have known that? How about you? Did you know that Truth is a Person and that that Person is Jesus?
Well, now you know.
And here's something else you need to know. Jesus is the Word of God. That means that the Word of God, aka the Bible, is also Truth.
So, if you want to know what Truth is, read the Bible! Plain and simple!
Now, most of the world today does not read the Bible, so most of the world today does not know truth. Instead, most of the world makes its own truth. This is called relativism.
The truth in the Bible is called Absolute Truth. That means it never changes.
Isn't it good to have something that never changes as the guide for our life? Imagine if you could not trust in the law of gravity. What if today you jumped and went down but tomorrow you jumped and went up? That would be a scary way to live, right?
Yet, that is exactly how people are living today. They are making their own truth and living by it. They are deciding what they want to be true and setting that as the standard for their lives. The only problem is they have no right to determine what truth is because God has already determined it. And it is found in the Holy Bible.
So, the next time someone asks you what is truth, refer that person to the Bible. And make sure you study the Bible for yourself. The more you learn and apply what is in it, the more you will know Truth. And the more you know Truth, the more you will experience freedom. Why? Because Jesus the Truth said this: "You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free." In other words, "You shall know Me, and I will make you free."
Hallelujah!
