The exposure of truth in the modern world is blurred to the extent that it is difficult to distinguish facts from lies. When the people governing are more willing to stand for their political agenda rather than stand for what they believe is true. Achieving a lifestyle that stands up for truth is a difficult task that is merely impossible if just human means and efforts are applied. When a human puts in all efforts to lead a righteous life, he fails and gets discouraged so fast. So how can one lead a truthful and righteous life?
Looking at the world and its history we see that humanity was and still is fallen, and the only things they can produce is evil. Thus, this proves that we humans can’t change anything and that we ourselves can’t reach the righteous lifestyle. This shows us that we are at a dead end and are in a critical situation.
After acknowledging the fact that people are not by nature inclined to love truth and attain to it, we need to see that there is a higher being that is full of truth. It is God, the creator of the universe. “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.” Deut 32:4. The only way we can reach that standard is if our relationship with Him is fixed. He sent his only begotten Son from Heaven to help us solve this problem, and give us a way out of this hole that humanity is in. His Son died on the cross and His blood was shed to give us an eternal salvation.
When unrighteous humans surrender at the cross and acknowledge themselves as sinners, God changes their lifestyle. The work of God changes their unwilling hearts from rebellion to willing obedience. As Jesus said in the gospel according to John says in chapter 14 verse 6 that, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This shows that our relationship with God can only be restored through the blood of Jesus Christ.
In conclusion, we see that we can’t change our lifestyle as humans. The only one who can though, is Jesus Christ through His saving grace and mercy. Let us always have faith in Him, and constantly thank Him for his saving grace that He has showed to us when He died on the cross. Now, through Jesus Christ, we can lead a truthful life, just because He came and took us out of the pit of darkness and the dead end that we were in. Even though truth is blurred today, let us not loose hope because we have Jesus Christ and His word, The Bible, that is full of truth.
