The Bible’s Definition of Truth
What the wisest man in the Old Testament (King Solomon) says about telling the truth
Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
– King Solomon, Proverbs 12:19Lying may work for a short time. But one lie requires another lie and before you know it you are known as a liar. But the person who consistently speaks truth will be trusted and his word and his person will not be shaken. Honesty is always the best policy. Hear the Truth. Live the Truth. Tell the Truth. Truth will set you free.
What the King David of Israel said about truth?
The sum of Your Word is truth.
– King David, Psalm 119:160
Jesus tells us who and what is truth.
Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through by me.”
– Jesus, John 14:26Your Word is Truth.
– Jesus, John 17:17
The Apostle Paul says the Gospel is the truth.
But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.
– Paul, 2 Corinthians 4:2

What Christians have said about truth?
Here’s a simple definition drawn from what the Bible teaches: Truth is that which is consistent with the mind, will, character, glory and being of God. Even more to the point: Truth is the self-expression of God. That is the Biblical meaning of truth. Because the definition of truth flows from God, truth is theological.
One of the most profound and eternally significant questions in the Bible was posed by an unbeliever. Pilate—the man who handed Jesus over to be crucified—turned to Jesus in His final hour, and asked, “What is truth?” It was a rhetorical question, a cynical response to what Jesus had just revealed: “I have come into the world, to testify to the truth.”
Jesus also said that the written Word of God is truth. It does not merely contain nuggets of truth; it is pure, unchangeable and inviolable truth that, according to Jesus, “cannot be broken” (John 10:35). Praying to His heavenly Father on behalf of His disciples, He said this: “Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth” (John 17:17).
The fundamental point, of course, that Aquinas was arguing, in agreement with his famous predecessor, Augustine, was that all truth is God’s truth, and that all truth meets at the top. If science contradicts religion, or if religion contradicts science, at least one of them must be wrong.
Good science and the Bible will agree?
