What is Truth? Pilate famously asked this question to Jesus in John 18, while Jesus was being tried.
In this episode we talk about what Truth is, Why it is so important, and How do we communicate it to other people.
Some of the defining elements of Truth are the face that it is not relative, or subjective, but, rather, it is objective. Truth does not change merely because we want it to. We cannot warp the Truth into what we want it to be. Truth is based in reality and fact. Those things that we can find to be true. The best place to find Truth in the entire world is in God's Word! The Holy Scriptures, the Bible holds the knowledge and the Truth that we need to live a life of godliness in relationship and connection with our Creator, YAHWEH!
Truth is incredibly important because it is the standard by which we will be judged one day when all of us stand before the throne of God! We had better know the Truth and live by it, or else the wrath of God will be poured out on us!
We communicate the Truth to people in love (Ephesians 4:15). Now, love isn't a decibel level, or a specific tone. Love sounds different in different situations. Sometimes love is gentle and soft, sometimes it is direct and abrasive. Love isn't always easy, but it is always right. Speaking the Truth isn't always easy, but it is always right. The Truth and Love are intimately connected! When we love people, we speak the Truth to them. When we are speaking the Truth to people, we are loving them!
