What is truth? And what does truth look like? Would you know it if you found it? Our world has many ways of answering this question. Often, this is what we see: truth is whatever you want it to be. It’s defined by the individual and nothing else.
God’s definition is different.
God is the Ruler and Creator of the universe. Everything He speaks is truth. He, being perfect, is completely incapable of lying. It is not in His nature! He is the only faultless source of truth that has ever existed.
And guess what? We have access to truth directly from God! Because what God says, is the foundation of His Word.
The truth never changes
The Bible is our path to discovering and knowing truth; more steady and solid than the opinions we hear, the information we see around us, or the feelings we feel. This truth never changes.
John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” When we know the truth, we are no longer living according to a lie. This is when we become free to live according to how God designed us to live. What a gift that He has made this truth available to us in His Word. It’s right there at our fingertips!
So, you may still wonder: what does truth look like? Well, we can now distinguish what we think to be an accurate understanding of truth and compare it to what the Word of God says for verification.
Truth brings freedom
Today, where do you need God’s truth to replace lies in your life? Weird and negative thoughts will seemingly come out of nowhere and they’ll repeatedly attempt to lure us into captivity. Remember, truth brings freedom! His Word is available to you at all times. He is inviting you to step into truth and freedom today. Be brave!
