ONE WHO IS TRUTH HIMSELF

 

The Death of Truth Begins with Denying the Truth

The greatest crisis in our society today is not political corruption, failing institutions, or even the collapse of honest journalism. It is the loss of truth itself. We no longer agree on what is real, what is right, or what is good. This is not merely a cultural problem — it is a spiritual one. Scripture tells us that truth is not an abstract concept or a shifting consensus; Truth is a Person. Jesus Christ declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Remove Him from the foundation of our laws, education, and public life, and you remove the very anchor that allows us to discern what is true from what is false.

In a post-Christian society, “truth” is no longer transcendent — it is negotiated by the loudest voices, the most powerful institutions, or the mood of the moment. That is why state-funded media can present falsehood as fact without consequence, and why our legal system hesitates to define truth at all. Without the Author of Truth, facts become tools of power, and lies flourish. Canada once openly recognized Christ in its public life — even inscribing His dominion from sea to sea into our national vision. If we wish to recover truth in our courts, our media, and our politics, we must first return to the One who is Truth Himself.

This shift is nowhere more evident than in our courts. Once, witnesses swore upon the Bible, calling God as their ultimate witness, and acknowledging that lying was not only a legal offence but a sin against the Creator. Today, the default is a secular affirmation — a promise to tell the truth with no reference to God, Scripture, or eternal accountability. What was once a sacred oath before the Judge of all the earth is now reduced to a contract with the state. The symbol has changed, but so has the foundation — and when the foundation shifts from God’s truth to human consensus, the meaning of truth itself begins to erode.
