Truth Defined: What is Truth?નમૂનો

There are few things that feel worse than feeling totally isolated and alone. Regardless of our personality type, ethnic or regional background, or age we're biologically wired for connection because we are made in the image of God. From the wildest extrovert to the most introspective introvert, we all want to connect and to belong. 

We love the camaraderie that comes from discovering someone who shares a favorite sports team, movie, or artist. It is also a common heart desire that we search for someone we can trust enough to share our most intimate thoughts.

When it comes to Christianity, God declares that he's not a distant, unknowable being. 

We can have access to him one-on-one. 

The Bible also says that God’s character is reflected most accurately in his Church— not a denomination, a building or campus— but in his people.  

Today, you can know the creator of the universe and trust that he knows you completely. God is trustworthy, because he is the author of truth. Truth is anything that agrees with what God has said in the Bible and what God has created. 

In his time on earth, Jesus reflected God’s compassion, mercy, and willingness to pursue the outcast and the overlooked. Jesus saw past people’s position, status, and condition and reached into their deepest brokenness with love and healing. 

John 14 talks about how your trust in God gives you a place in Jesus’ Body, the Church, because you’ve seen the Father. You have been given gifts and the Holy Spirit that enable you to join with other believers to reflect God to a hurting world.

Take a moment to express to God something you have not been able to tell anyone else. What is one thing you can do today to “do his work and build up the church”?
