We’ve all heard the phrase “the truth is out there.” It was a tag line for the TV show “The X Files”. It was the title of an NCIS episode. But it is correct – there indeed is absolute truth. We all spend our lives searching for it in our own way. Which is fine, unless you are wasting your years chasing after it in the wrong places. You don’t want to climb a 1000 ft ladder, only to find it’s leaning against the wrong building! So it’s critical to know WHERE to find absolute truth. It is not found in “hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians‬ ‭2:8‬. Opinions and philosophies change with every blowing wind. Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” (John 14:6. ) He does not change “like shifting shadows”. (James 1:17.) “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may KNOW that you have eternal life.”
(‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:13‬). The viability of Christianity stands upon this fundamental concept, that truth does indeed exist and we can know it.
