Is your faith grounded in the truth of God's word? How do you know if what you believe is God's truth, and lines up with his plan of salvation? The good news is that God Loves you and when it comes to your salvation, he held nothing back in order to provide a pardon for our sin so that we can have an eternity with him in Heaven. What it cost, and the price that had to be paid on our behalf is outlined and revealed in God's Bible. It is our prayer that you evaluate the truth of God's Bible against what you may believe or have been taught.

First, what is an absolute truth:

Salvation does not depend on feelings but facts (the truth) which must be believed. Faith is not a blind leap but an examination of the evidence followed by a trust and obedience. This leads us to the definition of an absolute truth. Let me describe an absolute truth.

• An absolute is basically an unchanging point of reference by which all other changes are measured.
• An absolute truth is an objective standard that is outside ourselves.
• Right and wrong are not items we accept by majority vote.
• Right and wrong does not rise and fall with what people think or feel is right at the time.
• Absolute truth must stand independent of personal opinion.
• If a truth is right in some situations or cultures and wrong in others, it would not be absolute.
• Absolute truth is not primarily an ideology or a heartless moral code.
• Absolute truth is first and foremost a person. (Jesus said, "I am the truth" John 14:6).
• The basis of everything we call moral and good and right is the eternal God who created us.
• Conversely, attitudes and actions that conflict with God's nature are wrong.
• Whenever we choose to get involved with something that is opposed to God's nature, we have chosen what is false and wrong.
• Love is the over-arching guideline, flowing from God's nature that helps determine right from wrong. This is why our first love must be Jesus.
• Jesus told a compromising church: "But I have this against you, that you have left your first love." (Rev. 2:4)
When Paul confronted the false worship practices at Corinth he wrote:
• "For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth." (2 Cor. 13:8)

When truth is mixed with error the result is still error and not an absolute truth. We are warned to work for the truth, not to mix, compromise, and water down the truth so that it will not offend anyone.

Absolute truth is confrontational. Jesus refused to compromise the truth; the apostles all went to their death proclaiming what they had witnessed. Sticking to the truth is not very popular, but it's right.

How important is it to be sure of the truth? Think about medicine. Pharmaceutical companies have to go through very thorough testing and clinical trials to get to the truth of how their medicine will function in the human body. Because they have to be certain that a drug that is in development will work repeatedly, the same way, for everyone. If it is meant to cure an illness, it must work in thousands if not more cases before it can be sold to the public. Furthermore, the medicine is also tested to ensure there are no adverse reactions, that it does not simultaneously contain any toxic ingredients or substances that will harm you. Essentially, the drug must cure the disease every time, for everybody.

In the same way we should investigate the truth – as if our life depended on it. Because our very eternity does depend on it. In the example above, what would happen if we had a life threatening illness and purposely avoided the drug that would cure us and instead took another medicine that tasted better. That would be foolish because it would result in our dying of the disease when there was a known cure. No one would purposely do that.

Yet when it comes to our eternity and faith in God, people sacrifice God's truth and follow man made rules that contradict the Bible. Our hope is that you genuinely read the Bible and pray while you are reading it for God to help you to understand his infallible word. His Bible is filled with prophecies that have come true, timeless principles that we should live by, and the most compelling love story of all time. How his son Jesus, left his throne in Heaven to come down to earth and die on the Cross for us so that we can have and enjoy an eternal life with God and Jesus in heaven. All we have to do is recognize Jesus as our Savior, ask him to forgive you of your sin and surrender to him. Then watch what he will do.

The Bible has 1,800 prophecies, of which 1,700 of them have already come true. The Bible has a perfect track record and we can rely upon it's message for our salvation.
