truth
What is truth?
What is the source of Truth?
Does it came from popular opinion, or what the majority of a culture thinks or what a government decrees or simply a personal belief?
Does a personal truth last forever or can it change over time? Are you entitled to believe in your own truth?
If this is the case, how can you have your own truth? Wouldn't that make your truth be a lie to others who are following a truth of their own?
the world we live in is saturated with lies.
however, “no lie comes from the truth”. 1 John 2:21.
Is there an Absolute Truth; a truth that is a CORNERSTONE . A truth that all other “truths” are measured against? A truth that will be valid for all people for all times? If so, who or what should be the source of that truth?
Yes, there is that kind of Truth. it is the words written in the bible and The source is from Jesus Christ, the living word of god.
Absolute Truth is the self expression of God. He is the author, source, determiner, standard, and ultimate judge of all truth. He alone is eternal and self-existent and He alone is the Creator of all things, He is the fountainhead of all absolute truth.
He expresses it through all three of His Beings; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible states that;
God is a God of Truth and it is impossible for Him to lie. Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 6:18, Titus 1:2.
Jesus said that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Light. John 14:6.
The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth. John 16:13
This Truth is from God. It never changes. It is valid for all peoples throughout all generations. It is always right. It is always best. And it is always pleasing to God.
there are some in the world that say there is no god. The fool says in his heart that there is no god. Psalm 14:1
if you chose to follow this Truth, It will set you free. John 8:32.
It will set you free from the uncertainty and fear that is in the world today as people desperately try to find someone or something to believe in. It will settle your heart and you will experience the peace that surpasses all understanding. You will still exist in the world but you will no longer be of the world. you will no longer participate in the chaos of the masses who become futile in their thoughts as their foolish hearts are darkened. Professing to be wise, they become fools. Romans 1:22.
Where can we learn about this Truth?
You will never find it in the media, the constitutions and laws of countries, pop culture, or your own heart. these sources are always changing like the sand on a beach blows about with the changes of wind direction.
There are many, many false teachers in the world today teaching a false truth in error. for fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: they practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the lord. Isaiah 32:6.
The only reliable source is The Bible; which is the Word of God.
SECURED on a solid rock foundation that can never be shaken.
All scripture is God Breathed. 2 Timothy 3:16
The Bible is the actual Words of God. 1 Thessalonians 2:13
All prophesy is from God carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21
The Word is Truth. John 17:17
Every Word of God is Flawless. Proverbs 30:5.
The word of the lord is right and true. Psalm 33:4.
you do not have to be concerned about this truth ever expiring or being SUPERSEDED by another truth. Jesus told us that it will stand forever.
heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35.
the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our god endures forever. isaiah 40:8.
this absolute truth that you have read about today does not depend on if you believe it to be true. it is true regardless of if you accept it or reject it..
I encourage you to turn to Jesus. Read about Him in the Book of John. Learn about the One who is the truth and from whom all absolute truth flows. and then pass on what you have learned to others!
we must remember thought, that when we convey this truth to others that it must we done with compassion and love.
we can have all the theology and knowledge that the bible possesses, but without compassion and love for others we are nothing more than the pharisees of the old testament. jesus called them white washed tombs..they appeared white and clean and perfect and holy on the outside, yet on the inside they were self righteous and dead and rotten with no real compassion or love for others. they had no interest is SOCIALIZING with others..they thought they were to good for that. they were very critical of the fact that jesus would keep the company of “sinners and tax collectors” Matthew 9:10-17, 11:19, Luke 7:34.
we must be willing to do the same.
when jesus saw the crowds he had compassion on them because they were harrassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. John 9:36
i will tell you the most excellent way;
if i speak in languages of men or of angles, but do not have love, i am only a resounding gong, a clanging cymbol. if i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if i have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love…i am nothing. if i give all i possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that i may boast, but do not have love..i gain nothing.
love is patient
love is kind
it does not envy
it does not boast
it is not proud
it does not dishonor others
it is not self seeking
it is not easily angered
it keeps no record of wrongs
love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth
it always protects
it always trusts
it always hopes
it always perserveres
love never fails
and now these three things remain;
faith, hope, and love
but the greatest of these,
is love
1 corinthians 13
