What does the Bible say about the truth?

Answered in 10 sources

The Bible defines truth as being in accord with fact or reality, primarily found in Scripture, which is God’s revelation to humanity.

The Bible articulates that truth is fundamentally about alignment with what is factual and real, as highlighted in passages such as John 17:17, where Jesus states, 'Thy word is truth.' This means that the Scriptures serve as the ultimate standard by which truth is measured. Without the Bible, all we are left with is subjective opinions, which amount to nothing of value. The nature of truth is firmly tied to the character of God, who cannot lie; therefore, His word and the message of the gospel must be the definitive resources for understanding the truth of God’s existence and His will for mankind.
