What is truth? Webster says it is the state or quality of being true, something which is true, accuracy, sincerity, integrity and most of all agreement with fact.
We now live in a seemingly confusing world; a world of so-called “fake news” and fake motives. We are flooded with TV and radio shows trying to tell the world what is acceptable and what is not.
We are warned constantly of scams on the internet and telephone, and when people come to your door, don’t unlock it, talk through the door. Everyone is trying to convince you to believe their way, mainly for their own benefit.
In my seventy short years on this earth I have found only one truth that is trustworthy and constant. A truth that never changes nor lets me down.
Of course I am talking about Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” A lot of folks try and complicate or even twist the Word of God to fit what they are comfortable with. But the Word is written and backed up by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When we read the Word and take it for exactly what it says, we have entered the truth. The majority of folks don’t get into the Word themselves. They listen to what has been handed down to them or what they hear someone else say.
The Word of God is very personal because it is based on a personal relationship with God. God is someone we can trust because He proves Himself to us consistently when we trust Him and obey Him.
In His Word He foretold hundreds of years before they happened, future events and times so that when He speaks we know that it is the truth. His Word is an accurate reliable fact that we can base our life upon.
If you are reading this and have tried many avenues to find peace and purpose, I pray that you will call upon the Name above every name, the name of Jesus, and walk in the only truth.
For He is the Way for purpose and direction, the Truth for reason, trustworthiness and absolution, and the Life eternal for completeness and self-worth. All those that call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!
For the Word says He is returning and He will judge the earth in truth. His Truth!
