What does truth look like in a world overflowing with opinions? Would you recognize truth if you found it? In today’s culture, truth is often portrayed as relative, whatever you want it to be. But real truth doesn’t shift with emotions or trends. So then, what does truth look like according to God?
God’s Definition of Truth
Unlike the world’s ever-changing version, truth begins and ends with God. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things and everything He speaks is true. God cannot lie. His nature is perfect, and His Word is the only completely reliable source of truth we have.
When we ask what truth looks like, we find the answer in God’s unchanging character and His revealed Word.
The Truth That Never Changes
Truth is not defined by our circumstances, feelings, or cultural norms. It’s defined by Scripture. As John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” That kind of truth liberates us from lies, shame, fear, and confusion. It points us back to who God created us to be.
The Bible isn’t just an old book, it’s a living, breathing guide for discovering the truth that never changes. Through its pages, God reveals what truth looks like and how it leads to real freedom.
What Does Truth Look Like in Your Life?
If you’re struggling with uncertainty or battling negative thoughts, ask yourself: “What does truth look like here?” Compare what you’re thinking to what God’s Word says. Truth always aligns with God’s nature and His promises.
Truth replaces lies. Truth brings freedom. And God’s Word is truth. The invitation is open… step into truth today and walk in the freedom that only He can give.
