The Source of Objective Truth

“For the word of God is alive and active.”
—Hebrews 4:12a

Our current culture does not like rules and regulations. The culture despises anything that might restrain its bent toward wanton pleasure and selfish gratification.

In fact, it hates boundaries so much that it declares there are no boundaries and that all truth is relative. It spitefully disdains the idea that there is any source of objective truth.

Standing in sharp contrast to this cultural norm is God’s written Word, the Bible, which gives testimony to God’s Son, the Living Word, Jesus.

The writer of Hebrews sums it up best when he writes in Hebrews 4:12:

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Let us hold onto this source of objective truth: read it, study it, meditate on it, and make it an integral part of our lives.

And, let us thank God that He has made His thoughts known to us through His written Word and through the Living Word, His Son, Jesus.
