A Biblical Worldview (Part 1)
The first question we will look at as we think through a
biblical worldview is “What is true?” Being able to know what
is true is the foundational issue of understanding our world.
What Is True?
Truth is any statement, thought or belief which matches the
world as it really is. Truth always reflects reality. When it
comes to understanding what is true, note the following:
➢ God gives knowledge. (Is. 45:18-19; Jer. 32:17)
➢ Truth can be known. (John 8:31-32)
➢ Jesus is the Source of truth. (John. 14:6)
➢ God’s Word is truth. (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17)
➢ God helps us understand truth. (John 16:13)
Understanding the world correctly and being able to answer
the deep questions of life requires us to know what is true.
Misconceptions about Truth
Some people in our culture have concluded we can’t know
truth. The term “truth” has been redefined to mean one’s
personal beliefs (i.e., “my truth”). But truth is not a personal
issue (i.e., subjective), but rather something outside ourselves
that is true for all people (i.e., objective). Note:
➢ Simply believing something doesn’t make it true.
➢ Just because an idea is popular doesn’t make it true.
➢ Two contradictory beliefs can’t both be true.
What people often refer to today as their “truth” is really their
opinion. When the concept of truth is minimized and equated
with our opinions, we no longer seek truth outside ourselves
where it can be found.
The Pursuit of Truth
We live in a world full of ideas, and it can be confusing to
know what to believe. God doesn’t want us to live in
confusion. When we seek to discover truth that God has
revealed, we’ll find the answers we seek. After all, God
created us to be thinkers and truth seekers! (Col. 1:9-11; 2:8)

What is True? What a great question to ask this day in time. It seems the truth about the Bible is getting worse everyday with different ideologies. We need to understand that there is one truth, we serve a righteous God and a just GOD!
nIn the reading of John chapter 7, 31-32, even when Jesus was walking with men, there were still the priest that were against what Jesus was teaching, when Christ mentioned to them that he was leaving soon and they would not find him, the priest was puzzled and confused.
nWith this said, even when Jesus was with man there was confusion, so with todays time, truth does not come from man, it comes from the word!
n
nI encourage everyone today to study the word, find the truth in your readings in scripture and pray for wisdom and understanding
