Truth
If we cannot know truth, then we cannot know anything, for any knowledge claim is a truth claim. For the Christian, truth is as fundamental as it gets. It speaks to the heart of what is real, and without a sense of reality, we are indeed lost. Truth is everything, tied to God himself.
While culture would have us think that we are “post-truth” (Oxford’s 2016 Word of The Year), such a view not only obscures reality, but makes it impossible to know basic matters like good and bad. One who argues against knowing truth would have no moral ability to say what is right or wrong, and conversations about such would be a waste. Without truth, there is no standard for anything, and with no standard, there is no ability to make moral decisions.
This is why the wisdom of God teaches, “Buy the truth and do not sell it” (Proverbs 23.23). And when someone says, “There is no truth,” just ask, “Is that true?” Truth, indeed, makes us free.
