Without truth, no one can say for certain that anything is right or wrong, good or bad. Confusion would reign.
*We sometimes hear, “There’s no such thing as truth.” But if we
believe that idea is true, we admit at least one true thing: that there is no such thing as truth! This does not work. It is irrational—like a round square. Since the statement “There’s no such thing as truth” refutes itself, the opposite, “Truth exists,” must be true.
*Another common idea is that “You have your truth, and I have mine.” But this doesn’t work either because people can believe opposite things. For example, some people believe God is real, but others believe He is not. Opposites cannot both be true.
*Finally, claiming that nothing is knowable is another self-defeating assertion, requiring the person saying it to know that they cannot know anything. Thus, we can know truth.
Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

Q: Is this true? We would first like to make sure the Bible is true.... But if it’s true, then Jesus is Truth incarnate, and therefore someone we can know personally."
