Why You Can Trust Scripture
The Importance of Biblical Truth in a Deceptive World
For Christians, every action and belief is guided by the Bible, which serves as our unwavering foundation. Yet, we live in a world that often denies absolute truth. The notion of “cancel culture” may seem new, but the rejection of truth has been a constant since the fall of humanity. According to Jesus in John 8, people often do not believe the truth simply because they are so deeply entrenched in sin and deception. He declared, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” This freedom comes from escaping deception and aligning with the truth found in God’s Word.
Recognizing Absolute Laws in the Physical World
Just as there are spiritual truths, the physical universe also operates under absolute, unchanging laws. From gravity to biological and geological systems, these laws ensure stability and predictability. When violated, they lead to severe consequences. Consider the engineering marvels of modern skyscrapers—such as Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Tower, planned to be the tallest building in the world. Engineers must design such structures to withstand wind, weight, and movement. Any doubt about these fixed physical laws would lead to catastrophic failure.
Living in a Truth-Defying Culture
In today’s culture, the idea of absolute moral and spiritual truths is often dismissed. Christians, however, affirm that fixed standards exist—rooted in God’s Word. Just as the physical laws governing our universe cannot be ignored without dire outcomes, the spiritual truths found in Scripture are essential for a life of stability, clarity, and freedom from deception. By embracing these truths, believers not only anchor themselves in a shifting world but also testify to the reality of a God who establishes order in both the material and spiritual realms.
