Truth
What is truth? God is truth. Everything he says we can believe. There is no deception, no hypocrisy, no half-truth in God. Our finite minds can't fully comprehend God or understand all his mysteries, but he is everything he says he is: the all-powerful, just, loving Creator of everything that exists. How do we know right from wrong? God alone, because he is truth, provides an accurate standard for ethics and morality. Whatever he does and commands us to do is right. Anything God hates and forbids us to do is wrong.

Humans, on the other hand, tend to try to cover up their blemishes, present themselves in the best light or skew the truth to reveal only the details that make their case. But nothing we do can change the truth. When we try to cover it up, we are imprisoned by our lies, But because we know God's forgiveness is available, we can dare to confess our sins and admit that we do not measure up to God's standards of perfection. Only then are we truly free to let ourselves be known- because our sins, ugly as they may be, are forgiven. Jesus said, "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free".
