We Need God’s Help Connecting Truth and Love

Do you solemnly swear (affirm) to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?

While no longer mandatory in every United States courtroom, we affirm this promise of truth with left hand placed on a book, right hand raised. 

The book remains closed, yet held as a mighty writing considered worthy to swear and affirm by.

The Bible. The Holy Scriptures. God’s truth to inspire man’s truth.

Yet, our present world often questions biblical principles as valid, relevant, or relatable. 

So, people try to convince us truth is relative. Culture whispers in our ear, We each have our own version of truth—and that’s okay.

We Need God’s Help With Truth

But it’s not okay. God’s Word not only never returns void, it also never goes out of style along with changing times. Consider how the Bible helps us live out our faith, a how-to manual for a godly life.

Because the more we are in God’s Word, the more we do the right thing, the godly thing, the Jesus thing, and do it all more often. 

The Bible describes truth as a fundamental characteristic of God, the Creator of all things, including truth. Biblical truth means that which is from God and born of God. Jesus, born of God, declared, “I am the truth” (John 14:6). 

God is Truth. And He is the giver of truth. 

People try to convince us truth is relative. Culture whispers in our ear, 'We each have our own version of truth—and that’s okay.' But it's not okay. God is Truth and the giver of truth. #truth #love Share on X Read More…Facebooktwitterlinkedininstagram
