The Truth Matters

The truth matters.

No one gets to claim: "Everyone has their own truth."

That's a different story when the operator cutting you open suddenly admits that he is not a doctor, and is actually afraid of blood.

The truth matters, because when we know the truth, then the truth sets us free.

The truth, as revealed in the Bible, is all about Jesus, full of grace and truth (John 1: 14)

Throughout the Bible, from the Old Testament to the final words of Revelation, grace and truth is one, a unified whole which cannot be separated.

"The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came (has come) by Jesus Christ." (John 1: 17)

We cannot talk about the grace of God without the truth. They are inseparable.

Truth matters, and we cannot run away from the clear cut expectation that either something is in place, or it is not.

While men can play in their minds with multiple realities, and accept two contradictory principles in their mind, the truth is that the pain of holding to irreconcilable revelations in our minds creates pain, conflict, and can lead to death.

The truth matters, because it is a matter of life and death.

This fact is not open for debate.

There can be no debate if there is no qualified acceptance that a proposition is true, or it is not true. A sense of outrage takes over us when someone lies to us, and that upset surges for a reason.

The truth matters. We are living in living world, even if decay and dysfunction defines it.

The truth matters, because our souls, our minds, our spirits were designed for it, and we will not settle for anything less.

When we know the truth, we are set free (John  8: 32)

The Truth is a person, a bold individual who stood up and declared to His disciples:

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." (John 14: 6)

The truth is the middle element which unifies the Way and the Life. The truth is the means by which we find the Way, and we have Life.

The truth, what is, the Gospel which speaks of full justification in Christ apart from our works, cannot be adulterated, balanced, or mitigated with anything else. Either we believe the testimony or Jesus, or we don't.

Balance and moderation are not the primary characteristics which matter. The truth matters, regardless of whether the statements are conflicted, controversial, or a matter of consensus. Balance and moderation are gaining all the traction and spotlight, as though balancing or mixing the diverse opinions is the best route to peace and freedom.

No. The truth shall set you free. You are saved by grace, which we receive by faith.

The truth matters, and the truth is not open for debate.
