What is truth? This question has been asked by many people throughout the ages and it is as important to know the answer now as it has in the years past. Today many folks say truth is relative. They believe that truth is what you think it is. They believe that truth is not black or white or that it cannot be defined for society by anyone or any group. The funny thing is though when believers share the "Truth" with people they get offended. They tells us that we need to keep our opinions to ourselves because our truth is no more truth than their "truth". So once I again I ask the same question Pilate put to Jesus when he was being accused by the religious rulers.
The world's standards continue to change or evolve as many like too call it. The standards change when a group of people demand their rights to live the way they want to live even when it goes against the norms or the standards which have always been in accordance with God's standards. So to make people "happy" the lawmakers pass laws that allow and even normalize certain behaviors. The problem is that these folks may think that they are now free to live anyway they want but the sad fact is that there is a day coming when they will face judgment for their sin. I don't care what the sin is that they embrace. Every sin will be judged by God. But whose standard will He use to judge people who have rejected His Son and the gift of eternal life that He offered? It will not be the world's but His own! You see His truth will prevail and the "truth" of this world will pass away. The world has been buying into the lies that Satan has been selling to mankind ever since the Garden of Eden. He told Adam and Eve that they wouldn't die if they ate from the tree God told them not to eat its fruit. We know who was right and who was wrong! The problem is people continue to believe the lies Satan puts out. People ignore God's truth and die holding onto the world's "truth" and face God's judgment. The only way to know what lies are is to know what the truth really is! God tells us in His Word what real truth is and tells us how to live the according to that truth. We need to speak out the "Truth" no matter what the world may tells us. Remember that we have the words of life that the people need so desperately needs to hear! God loves the people of this world and doesn't want anyone to perish but all come to repentance and eternal life! The only way that happens is to share the Truth with the lost and dying world. Let's not be wimps but let us take a bold stand and share the Good News with everyone who will listen!
Must of us who are believers can remember when we came to Christ and how we may have looked upon the Truth before we came to that place where finally accepted it. Don't ever pass up the opportunity to share God's Truth with unbelievers. Don't forget that they are already lost and going into a Christless eternity so even if they don't want to believe you need to tell them the Truth they need to hear! It's only too late after they pass from this life!
