What is Truth?
Some people think there is no absolute truth. “Truth” for them is simply what they think. When God created man and woman, He placed them in a beautiful and perfect environment. God said, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” Then Satan came along in the form of a serpent and said, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’ … You will not certainly die.” In our generation, people question whether the Bible is really the Word of God. They put doubt in people’s minds, asking, “Did God really say that?” Adam and Eve had to make a choice between God’s truth and the devil’s lie. They chose the devil’s lie, and today our flesh also sides with the lie instead of the truth. From the moment we're born, we have a tendency to sin. Our moral universe is out of focus, and we won’t get it back into focus until we come to Christ. We accept lies as truth and truth as lies. We don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong. We don’t have to be taught to sin; we inherit it. The question is, what will we do about it? Unless we turn to Christ and try to change our sinful lives, we will suffer. We will be eternally separated from God. However, if we put our faith in Christ, we can enjoy eternity with Him in Heaven.
