What is truth? In our postmodern world, that sentiment seems to be the prevailing question. The idea of absolute truth, exclusive and solitary, is almost offensive to so many. That there is a right and a wrong, or that some thing or some worldview is right and another is wrong seems lost to this generation. The very order of the universe, the very seed of moral conviction, that man seeks a deeper relationship, all point to the reality that there is a moral plum line and that plum line is God. Yet, society continues to creep toward the idea that there is no absolute truth. The very statement that there is no absolute truth is in itself a contradiction to which I would simply ask, “Is that true?”
I would claim that every good thing and every concept of perfect comes from a Creator-God. A God who has revealed himself in the transcendent revelation of Scripture. God’s Word, the Bible, is where we can know God, experience God, and understand His loving redemption mission for man, found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. But see, even as postmodern Christians begin to make Scripture adapt to their ideas, rather than they adapt to Scripture, the gospel and our view of God continually erodes. It is no wonder that an entire generation questions everything when many Christians themselves refuse to accept the entire revelation of God in the Bible as true. Whether we like or not, the Bible either is or isn’t true in its entirety. There is no half-way. The Bible supports itself, reinforces itself, and proves itself, there is no cut and paste. The same is true with God, He is either all God and holy and righteous, or He is not God at all.
There is so much more that is so valuable in the field of apologetics. May I just encourage you to dig in a little deeper toward having a reason for your own faith. Pick up a book by Lee Strobel, Ravi Zacharias, Andy Banister, Nabeel Qureshi, Gary Habermas, and learn why Christianity is the most reasonable worldview and how faith and reason intersect. Having a reason for our faith is biblical. Often times, a reasoned apologetic is a great starter to breaking down walls for the furtherance of the gospel. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us to always be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is in us and to do it with love and kindness. Begin your study today.
