What Is Truth? | The Institute for Creation Research

What Is Truth?

Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is the truth?” (John 18:37-38)

What is truth? Jesus said that He’s “the way, the truth, and the life.” He is the only way to God; no one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). He is the truth, the Word of God through whom all things were made (1:1–3). And Jesus is the life. While the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came to Earth that we may have life abundantly (10:10).

As stated in the Bible, many will come falsely claiming they have the truth (Matthew 24:11), but Jesus already told us that He is the truth. Anything contrary to who He claimed to be and the message He taught is a lie that must be resisted.

At the Institute for Creation Research, Jesus’ truth is at the center of what we do. Our mission is to expose the Darwinian lies that have infiltrated our society, to give the Creator the glory that belongs to Him, and to communicate the science that affirms Scripture. ICR seeks to equip believers with the answers they need to defend the gospel, uphold the authority and accuracy of God’s Word, and proclaim His truth to a culture that desperately needs it.

Some ask why a creation ministry like ICR is needed. They claim it doesn’t matter what people believe about origins because there are more important battles to fight. But I’d argue that origins is actually one of the greatest issues of our time. ICR’s intention isn’t to win a debate but to oppose the deification of nature and restore glory to the Lord Jesus, who created everything in six 24-hour days. Whatever we believe about truth informs how we live. And if we hold to the Bible as ultimate, final truth, that means living in light of everything it says.

For over a year, I’ve had the joy of serving as the special events coordinator for the ICR Discovery Center in Dallas, Texas. I plan events that connect ICR to the community and engage people with the biblical creation message, helping them grow in the knowledge of their Creator. In my time here, I’ve witnessed God move in magnificent ways. I’ve seen hearts changed, faith strengthened, and passion for the gospel soar.

This ministry’s outreach isn’t possible without our faithful supporters, who generously supply their love and resources to keep our work going. I don’t just organize ICR programs. My job gives me the incredible opportunity to learn more about how God created the world and to be inspired by His special plan for mankind. I get to tell others about the good news of Jesus so they, too, can know there’s purpose to this life and that we’re not the consequence of chance.

ICR leads people to the glorious truth of God’s Word, which consequently points them to Jesus, and I get to be a part of it! Thank you for joining us to accomplish this vital mission. Together, we’re building the kingdom of God—and that’s the greatest joy of all.
