What is truth?



When Jesus was arrested and taken to Pilate for questioning, Pilate asked this:

John 18:38a Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”

The world needs to know the answer to this question. It is quite simple. Jesus himself tells us the answer:

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jesus is the TRUTH. Until a man or women figures this out they can not the way God intended us to live. Why is that? Because understanding Jesus is truth means we understand that He is also the Word.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Knowing the Word is Jesus we now can say that everything in the bible is truth. So the Word of God trumps everything man says if it disagrees with the ultimate truth. Think on that for a bit. For example, if a man says there are many ways to heaven, but the Word of God says only by faith in Jesus can one go to heaven, God’s Word is correct not the man’s opinion. See John 14:6 above, No one goes to God except through Jesus. Case closed!

It really isn’t that hard, God is absolute truth, although man tries to make it that way. So how you define truth is very important. Does man define your truth or does God? Your answer has eternal consequences.
