Is Jesus really the truth? That sounds a bit intolerant! Why can’t we just each believe our own thing? You believe whatever you want, I’ll believe something different, and we can both be right?!
What utter nonsense — truth is not relative!
• Truth is always absolute.
• Truth is discovered, not invented.
• Truth is transcultural — true for all people, in all places, at all times.
• Truth is unchanging, even though beliefs about truth change.
We can tolerate other beliefs (in fact we are called to do so in gentleness and respect, see 1 Peter 3:15), but don’t get confused: tolerating a belief does not make it true. Some things are true and some things are false.
Jesus claimed that he is the Truth — he claims that what he said and did is true. He claims that he came, died, and was raised for the forgiveness of your sin. Do you believe this to be true? There is no sitting on the fence allowed — it is either true or false. If you believe and confess this to be true, what does this mean for your life today?
If you are still seeking to test Jesus’ claims, the following books may help as you continue your search, or strengthen your faith further:

Geisler and Turek, ‘I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist’ — http://buff.ly/2reCthQ
