What is Truth?

This question was asked of our Lord by Pilate (John 18:38), and it is being asked over and over again by a generation steeped in relativism which admits no absolutes except the absolute that everything is relative. The answer to this question is clear and absolute. All truth comes from God. Moses declared of God that He is “a God of truth. . .” (Deut. 32:4). He cannot lie (Tit. 1:2). What He says, then, is truth. The Lord Jesus affirmed this fact when He said to God, His Father, “Thy Word is truth” (John 17:17).

God’s Word is called by Daniel “the scripture of truth” (Dan. 10:21). We are told by the Apostle Paul that “all scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim. 3:17). That is to say, the Holy Scriptures, or what we call the Bible, has the very breath of God on its words. The very words themselves are inspired of God. Therefore, the entire Bible which is God’s Word can be believed because it is truth. There are no false statements in it. It is not partly true; it is true

How do we know we have God’s Word in the Bible? Jesus Christ affirmed we have God’s Word in the Scriptures. He appealed to the Scriptures as the final authority in all of His controversies with His adversaries (Matt. 21:42; 22:29). If He was a great man and teacher, as even the most ardent denier of His Deity is willing to admit, what He says about the Scriptures must be considered credible. Great men and teachers are to be believed about such matters. Since the Bible is God’s Word, then it follows that we must believe its teachings. Do you?
