Does truth matter in this generation?

in blog •  7 years ago  (edited)

Truth is what we seek to discover. It is what we seek to believe for the purpose of acting in the world. We typically prefer to know and be told the truth than to be told a lie. Anyone does not like lies. Naturally, we bent to the truth and no one depend to lies. How many of us won’t be hurt if you are deceived and you are in the verge of believing that was true? I guess none of us. Thus, by telling you some points here to answer the question will possibly justify the affirmative answer.
I. Biblical Perspective

A common verse found in John 14:6 saying, ‘Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.’ Who said that He’s the way, the truth and life? Obviously it is Jesus, our living Savior. Why we need to believe in Him? Because thru Jesus Christ we made to reconnect again to the Father. It says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son [ Jesus] that whosoever believes in Him will not be perished, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16. Why God gave His only begotten son? It is because of LOVE! Can you not imagine that a Father sacrifice His only son for the sin-sick people/ world! If you are among those people, how did you use your time and life for God? The answer depends on you. Furthermore, what will happen to them that believes Him? They will have everlasting life! But by merely believing and have the knowledge of God would it guarantee that we will receive the said ‘eternal life’? Neither! The book of Revelation 1:4 reminded us, saying, “Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand.” Who will be blessed? Are those who reads and hear the words of the prophecy. What are they reading and listening? Is it the novel, eBook, movies, dramas, entertainment and vines? No, it is the PROPHECY! Why they are reading and listening to it? Because the time is at hand. Why it is says ‘the time is at hand’? 2 Timothy 3:1-7 says, “1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” In these last days becoming what it says in 2 Timothy 3:7. If you have noticed that verse in Revelation 1:4 says also ‘…and keep those things which are written therein.’ It is not only reading/studying and listening of the prophecy, but by walking or applying what we or you have studied. Don’t you know that we are the ambassadors of Christ and a chosen generation? If we seek more the truth for this time, we will know the purpose of our existence. That is not just about having profession and fame. Instead, it is about the molding of Christ character in our lives, living the truth that we believe in and sharing the Gospel.

II. Secular Perspective
Even if I will do a survey or not; even if I will ask the people around the world in this question, ‘Which do you prefer to listen or believe in? Truth or lies?’ Certainly, majority of the crowd will say ‘Truth’. In addition, people loves truth because originally human are perfect and had a life which is ‘true to duty as needle to the pole’ and created in God’s hand whom people believed that is the ‘way, truth and life’. People are from God, a true God! That is why people loves truth not lies! Because the father of lies is Satan, and the father of truth is God and we are from Him not from Satan!
