1 | What is truth? | John 18:38 | Lionstrong | 53337 | ||
Dear Hank, If what one is looking for is universal agreement on what truth is, one will not find it. God sees his Word as truth: John 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. And God sees Himself as truth: Ps 31:5 Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O LORD, God of truth. John 14:6 Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. Our secular Western culture, which has rejected the Word of God, is forced to accept a relativistic view of truth. This leads one to an irrational or pessimistic view of life. Nonetheless, even though we know where to find truth, God's Word, it does not mean we will agree on what truths are found in that Word. We all make mistakes. And by the humility that the Spirit gives we can struggle over the Word together, sharpening each other (Prov. 27:17), reproving, correcting and teaching (2 Tim 3:16,17) each other in the truth, that we may glorify God by serving Him in truth. Peace, p.s. I've written on the subject of truth before (on which we've disagreed :)), but please review those notes. |

2 | What is truth? | John 18:38 | Hank | 53362 | ||
Good thoughts, Lionstrong, and I truly appreciate your response to the question. We may never know God's perfect truth perfectly in this life, for we see through our mirror darkly, but we can, as you said so well, struggle over the Word together with the Spirit as our guide. Peace also to you and have a nice 4th of July. God bless America and may it be truly one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. --Hank | ||||||
