Quest for Truth.
To begin a Quest for Truth one must have an overwhelming hunger and thirst for Truth.
“You can know the Truth and the Truth will make you free.” These words were uttered by the Author of Truth.
At another time a man of much lesser significance uttered, “What is truth?”
In our time we hear “there is no absolute truth.” This comes from confusing one’s own Agenda and Truth.
If there is no absolute Truth, then all that appears to be truth is merely superstition.
It is true that one cannot, of oneself, devise Truth. One cannot create Truth, one can only discover or learn It.
The consequences of some truth is confined to time. That is called “temporal” truth because it is confined to time.
The consequences of “eternal” Truth survive time and the grave. That is the Truth for which we are on a quest. The quest for Eternal Truth is to be a lifelong journey.
The source of all Truth is God for His every Word is Truth. He is the Creator of Truth.
Truth is sought because it frees one from the penalty for the Lie (Sin). In contrast, Truth brings great reward.
Jesus Christ came as the embodiment of Truth. Jesus Christ was the Truth become flesh.
The quest for Truth begins with a total commitment to Truth. Not a half-hearted, once a week commitment but a lifelong, total commitment to Truth. One must set aside one's own Agenda and also the agenda of others. One must set aside prejudices and biases. One must remove traditions and customs in one’s quest for Truth. One must not elevate one’s own opinions on this journey. One must empty--deny--oneself in this search for Truth.
One must come to know, believe and love the Truth, which will activate one’s life. Only then will one receive the benefits of Truth.
“Seek the Truth and you shall find It.” “Knock on the door of Truth and It shall be opened to you.”

Characteristics of Truth.
Truth is sometimes difficult. That is why total commitment to It is necessary. It takes Courage to Know, Believe, Love and Practice Truth.
Truth is Consistent. It is the same wherever one goes. Truth is the same whether one is in Space or on the Earth.
Truth Endures. It stands the test of time. Truth is the same as it was 10,000 years ago. It will still be the same 10,000 years from now. The Lie cannot stand the test of time.
Truth is based on Evidence and Reason. Truth is not just some mystical, mysterious, nebulous idea.
Truth does not contradict Itself. One does not find Truth in one place and then in another place find It contradicting Itself.
Truth is Uncompromising. This is the difficult part. One cannot compromise the Truth and It still be the Truth. Truth is always right and correct.
