What is Truth?

John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
People assumptions about what is right or wrong, true or false, are based on what authority they choose to follow.  As Christians, we must accept and follow the authority of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His written word, the Bible.   Those that choose not to follow God's word,  such as atheist, humanists, and other non-Christians religions, will not uphold or speak the truth, as is written in Jeremiah 9:5, "And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth:  they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity."


As Christians, we are instructed to serve God in truth, meditate on it, and share it with everyone and with every opportunity that we are given. This is explained in these three scriptures:
1 Samuel 12:24 "Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you."
Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Ephesians 4:25 "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one with another.


Read God's word and bear witness to the truth by your thoughts, words and deeds.
May God Bless!!
