What is truth?

Ancient philosophers have often asked and searched out the meaning of truth and asked themselves, "what is truth"? When Jesus stood before Pilot on the Friday morning of his earthly judgement, John tells us that Jesus explained that he had been brought into the world to bear witness of the truth. To this Pilot replied, "what is truth"? We have asked ourselves this eternal question throughout all of time. Jesus also stated that He is "the way, the truth, and the life." So, the answer is that Jesus is truth but it's not that simple. The world and everything in it tries to explain itself and tell me what truth is through books, magazines, TV, and human reasoning. Though some of this effort stumbles onto truth, it does so only by truth being revealed to us through God and His creation. The things that we believe become truth for us because belief drives action. What you REALLY believe is what you act on. We go to work because we really believe the consequences will be bad if we don't. We don't go to church every week because we don't believe that it is really necessary. There are many things that we say we believe, but follow your actions and you find the truth of what you really believe. The missing step is to get ourselves to believe what is really true and to ignore the lies that are not. So, how do you know the difference? Go to the One who is truth and find the answer in John 8:31 - "If you abide in My word, you are truly my disciples; you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." The Bible will give the answers and will show you truth. Seek it. Find it. Believe it. Act on it. The truth will set you free and you will discover a road to the heights of success.
