Absolute truth absolutely exists. However, popular psychologists, politicians, activists and academics preach that absolutes do not exist. My opinion won’t sway anyone, but I believe there’s one absolute we might all agree on that is also the path to humility.
No one knows what they don’t know.
Why People Deny “Absolute Truth”
Society is divided on every topic from ecology to abortion. If there’s one thing most people absolutely agree upon, it is that there is no such thing as absolute truth. The major stumbling block about absolutes is the requirement that for anything to be absolutely right the opposite must be absolutely wrong.
Most voices today refuse to call anything absolutely wrong unless it is the belief in absolutes. Nothing is more feared or despised in the self-indulgent culture we live in than boundaries or standards. “Binary” anything may even be considered hate speech.
The Trouble With Truth Is God
The issue of absolutes resolves to this: The God of the Bible absolutely exists or He absolutely does not. If the God of the Bible exists, then so do absolutes—a whole bunch of them. And that’s where outrage and arguments begin.
Acknowledging God accepts standards, definitions, restrictions, and judgment. Belief in the God of the Bible confesses Jesus Christ and our inability to save ourselves
Absolute truth belongs to Thee alone.
Can We Agree On Anything?
Do you believe that anything is absolutely true or right in all instances and circumstances without exception? What would that one thing be?
“Is there one thing everyone in the United States could agree on?”
I’ve asked that question for years. So far, no one has come up with an answer, which explains our present circumstance.
Division is a strategy of the Enemy. That speaks volumes about the spiritual state of affairs and why truth is hateful to many.
Wisdom, I believe, isn’t simply how much we know, but the progressive realization of how much we don’t.
The Truth Equalizer
I believe in as many absolutes as God’s Word teaches which defines me (ooh, definition!) as ignorant or disagreeable. Yet maybe there’s one truth that may be agreeable to everyone regardless of creed or philosophy:
No one knows what they don’t know.
If you knew what you didn’t know, you’d know it.
What an amazing equalizer. I don’t know what I don’t know and neither do you. Wisdom, I believe, isn’t simply how much we know, but the progressive realization of how much we don’t.
The Power of Truth
The only thing strong enough to build on is truth. If my truth and your truth aren’t the same, it’s impossible for us to stand and build together.
Ask yourself who would love that?
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
