Humanity needs absolutes! We have a longing for absolutes.
Our young people are being taught (and many of us were taught) that there is no absolute truth—something that is true all the time and everywhere whether people know it or like it.

Without the conviction that there are absolutes that can be shared and made the basis for society, the only end will be anarchy where everyone does what is right in his own eyes. If there are no things for us to agree on we will kill each other. We are done for as a nation unless God intervenes. When Jesus arose from the dead He ruled the world and has a right to tell us what is right and wrong for us individually and corporately. He wrote the Book. We have a longing for truth.
Therefore, the need for truth is a deep need of the human soul and human society.
And Jesus came into the world to say, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). Then, He arose from the dead to vindicate his claim. Jesus has a right to tell us what is absolutely true because in the resurrection God proved him to be absolutely true.

Action Step: Study to show yourself approved rightly dividing the word. Get into the Word of God for yourself and let the Word get into you.
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV)
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
