The Case for Faith Chapter 5
Zacharias said: “The clear implications of Jesus saying he’s the way, the truth, and the life are that, first, truth is absolute, and, second, truth is knowable.” Do you believe those two assertions about truth? Why or why not? Truth is a funny thing, if you were to ask 100 people their definition of truth, almost all of their answers would be totally different. Truth really depends on the person’s beliefs for themselves and what they believe is right for others. Some might say well there are no truths, but in a sense what they are saying is the only truth is that there are no truths. One generality that we can all say is that truth is an absolute, because if it isn’t, that makes the only truth be there isn’t any truths, but there would be a truth because the truth would be that there are no truths (If you don’t understand what I just wrote, read it again slowly). So yes, truth is an absolute no matter what. How can we know truth is knowable? This question was answered by Ravi Zacharias when he said, “The blind man may tell you it’s a tree, but he’s wrong. It is not a tree or a rope or a fan. The seeing man knows this is an elephant. He knows the truth; his sight has revealed it to him. And Jesus Christ
On Origin: God created us in his image, yet we are special creatures, that have control over all other creatures of this world. But just because we are rulers over all the rest, does not mean we created ourselves or that we ourselves are God, but rather we are just creations being ruled over by God. Only Christianity can describe this origin from God and not be incoherent with certain rules of nature. We only became “like God” when we ate the fruit and sinning, because we thus knew what a sin was and what a sin wasn’t. We thus were the definers of what good and evil was making us gods of ourselves. This makes sense of our origin because we continue to define what is right and wrong even in today’s society of gay marriages and abortions galore. I believe I have drawn closer to God in my walk these past few years as I’ve looked into what Christ is all about and who he really was and what he did for me. I have concluded he is the only way, truth, and life and that no one else can save me. The results so far have just been countless blessings poured out on me by God for just being willing to be used by Him for his glory and purpose. The Bible says about God, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” What three practical suggestions would you give to a friend who wants to know how he or she can seek God that way? Have you taken those steps yourself? What has been the result so far?
