Where does truth come from?
There is truth because there is a God
God is the creator of all things, thus everything that is true has its origin in God.
God is the one who establishes what is true, and we can know truth through what He has revealed in His word.
Scripture is inerrant
God is what gives life meaning
The atheist says that we are all just a collection of atoms crashing into one another, and that the world has no meaning or value.
Because there is a God who created everything, for an intentional purpose all of life has meaning.
God has a purpose and plan for everything, and thats why even the worst things you can imagine have meaning and purpose because of the nature of God.
Remember this and pluck up courage!
Call to mind, you transgressors!
Remember the former things from a long time ago,
for I am God and there is none besides me,
God and there is none like me,
who from the beginning declares the end,
and from before, things that have not been done,
who says, ‘My plan shall stand,’
and, ‘I will accomplish all my wishes,’
who calls a bird of prey from the east,
the man of his plan from a country from afar.
Indeed I have spoken; indeed I will bring it to being.
I have formed it; indeed I will do it.
Then Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? As for you, you planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, in order to do this—to keep many people alive—as it is today. So then, do not be afraid. I myself will provide for you and your little ones. And he consoled them and spoke kindly to them.
The reason you are valuable is because there is a God
Ultimately when we apply this to ourselves, the reason you have value, and are not an expendable pile of garbage is because there is a holy God who you are made in the image of, and who has intentionally woven you together.
Do you know Him?
