Real Hope: Seeking TruthSample

The Constant Pursuit Of Truth

The concept of ‘truth’ feels very subjective these days. The suggestion that there’s an ultimate truth in an age of ‘your truth’ and ‘my truth’ feels archaic and logically impossible.

I wonder if society’s changing approach to truth isn’t about a changing need for defined guiding principles but about validating our experiences and worldview. We want ‘truth’ to originate with us and our ideas, not necessarily with something beyond us.

If we believe that God is the embodiment of truth, however, it isn’t something we can find entirely in ourselves: we have to look to Him. We have to ‘seek’ Him, as Isaiah 55 puts it.

The context of this verse is about taking up God’s invitation for salvation while we still can in this lifetime, but it also reflects the attitude of the ones who find it: they look, seek, and attempt to discover.

When you’re considering what is true in this day and age, why not seek out God as the source of it and find out what the Bible has to say?
