Thought for the day.
Truth comes from somewhere. Truth doesn’t materialize out of thin air, but originates in God himself. Truth is that which is consistent with the mind, will, character, glory, and being of God. Truth is the self-disclosure of God Himself. It is what it is because God declares it so and made it so. All truth must be defined in terms of God, whose very nature is truth.
Truth is tied to the character of God. Truth is not simply a description of what is real, but is anchored in God’s personality, attributes, and nature. We cannot escape our skin and in the same way, God cannot escape what is true. This is because truth is a fundamental part of His being.
Therefore, God determines what truth is. He defines what up is, where the bottom of the ocean is, where we came from, and where we are going when we die. All other methods of learning whether in the sciences or in theology is an attempt to discover what is plain as day to the God who created everything (Genesis 1:1) and upholds the universe by his word. (Hebrews 1:3)
