What is Truth?

It’s easy to live a lie when you don’t know the Truth. But when Truth comes to abide within He purifies your soul. Living the double standard is the result of choosing anything to live by besides the Truth. When you choose your own standards you can do whatever you want and try to justify it but that still doesn’t make it right. There is only one Truth and He is the Standard and example for all else. He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the Almighty Creator of everything! Therefore He alone has the right and authority to establish Truth. And He has instituted and founded all things upon this immovable footing. If we know this Truth and establish our lives on it as we will also be unshakable and free! And if we don’t we wont.

John 18:37-38
37 Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?"

Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"

26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."
