Truth

What is truth? As I came into the college atmosphere this seemed to be the question that was on everybody's list to answer. Many people even thought that they had figured out what truth really is. Over the past few years I have heard many takes on what truth is and how it applies to everyone's life. Many people believe that truth is just relative, it all depends on what you believe. Moreover, I have heard many say that there is no way to know for sure who God is or what's really true. However, they believe in the statement that they are making, "that there's no way to know what's really true." They're saying that their statement is true. They make a circular argument that comes back on itself and removes any credibility. Furthermore, think about this, if what's true for you is true for you and what's true for is true for me, what if my truth says yours is a lie? What then, is it still true? Truth is what it is (truth) whether you believe it or not. Your belief does not determine what truth is or is not! Truth simply is truth. So how do we know what truth is? To know this we must know what truth is not, and it is not relative. Again, if truth is relative then that statement itself can't be true. There is truth, and it comes from the one that created purpose and meaning. In order to know what is true, we must study and desire to know the one that created us and as we do that, truth will be made known to us. However, this does not mean that all things will be revealed. As scriptures tell us, there are mysteries and knowledge that belong to God and humans will never know them. Truth is what it is, no matter what you believe about it. Do you know the truth?
