The first step in my search for truth was started when I noticed some people who seemed happy. These same people knew God’s purpose for them. Each time I found they had a similar experience.

They each claimed to know God personally through Jesus Christ.
 

Jesus Christ is the Truth
 

Jesus himself claimed to be the Truth. He said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me." (Bible - John 14:6)

Jesus said, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” (John 18:37)

But I found most people are not experiencing the triumph that truth brings.
 

Sin has kept us from the truth that triumphs.
 

The Bible explains that we each have become blinded to truth because of our own sin.
“All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

It may be a broken promise or it may be an act of deliberate dishonesty but the Bible says that every one of us has sinned.
 

God is holy and we are sinful. Even thought God’s original purpose was for us is to be in fellowship with Him our sin has separated us from God.
 

The Bible says, the penalty of our sin is death. (Romans 6:23) That not only means physical death but eternal death, what the Bible refers to as hell.
