What Is Truth?

What is truth? This soul-searching question, posed by Pontius Pilate over 1900 years ago (John 18:38), still haunts a spiritually floundering human race. Truth is the most precious commodity in the world. It alone can free you from the guilt of sin (John 8:31-32). Where can truth be found? Jesus is the truth (John 14:6). He is the only way to God. He makes known the truth concerning Himself and the way to God in His Word, the New Testament (Galatians 1:11-12; Ephesians 3: 1-7), which is also called truth (John 17:17). If you believe and obey the truth you will be saved (2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:22). But, if you do not love truth you will receive eternal damnation (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12).
