When people ask me this question, they are typically not wondering about the latest scandal in the tabloids (which are mostly far-removed from truth). They are seeking answers to life’s big questions and are looking to understand divine things.
The Bible is clear that the ultimate source of truth comes from God. The Scriptures explain this in more than one way. “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6). The Holy Spirit is also a provider of truth. “It is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1 John 5:6). So also God’s Word, the Bible, is a foundation of truth: “Sanctify them by Your truth.
Your word is truth” (John 17:17). One of the principles for finding God’s truth is that we must be earnest in our search. “You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). We should also pray for God to guide us to truth. “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth” (John 16:13).
Some people are not willing to give up cherished ideas when they are looking for truth. The Bible warns, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). We must be humble and open to truth. “Cease listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge” (Proverbs 19:27).
If you are studying a Bible passage that stumps you, pray for God to give you understanding, and then search other verses on the topic. Use a concordance and compare Scripture with Scripture. “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little” (Isaiah 28:10).
Most of all, search the Scriptures and look for Jesus. It is through God’s Word that we most clearly see the Source of all truth.
Dear Jesus, please guide me into all truth that I may know and love you more.
