COULD YOU BE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU CLAIM TO KNOW?
NO?
According to Christianity, the God of the Bible is the source of all knowledge.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” –Proverbs 1:7
THE PROBLEM:
Contradictions amount to lying, as opposing statements cannot both be true. Your worldview contains many contradictions in your source of knowledge, which means that you could be wrong about everything you claim to know!
So, how can you know anything?
Just as breathing requires air, thinking requires knowledge. Without knowledge, nothing makes sense.
WHAT IS OUR ONLY HOPE IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT?
THE BAD NEWS:
The possibility that you could be wrong about everything is absurd. If you could be wrong about everything, you really can’t know anything at all—not even that! The fact that you DO know things exposes that you know that God exists, but are stealing your foundation for knowledge from Him.
Without having all knowledge, something you don’t know could contradict what you think you know. In order to know anything, you would have to know everything, OR have revelation from someone who does. Only God knows everything. He also cannot lie and never changes. Unless you start with the God you DO know (Romans 1:18-22), you have no basis for knowledge. God does not condemn people for what they don’t know, but for sin against the God that they do know.
You were created in God’s image, to glorify and enjoy Him forever. When you sin, you fail to imitate God as He commands, and lie about who He is. God alone is good, and the final standard of truth. All have fallen short of His standard and deserve eternity in Hell. This is not because of the severity of sin, but because of the goodness of God. Since God is perfect, no sin can be in His presence, and His perfect justice demands a perfect sacrifice to atone for sin.
THE GOOD NEWS:
Christ Jesus, who is God the Son, came into the world as a man to live in perfect obedience to God the Father. With His death on the cross, Jesus became the perfect sacrifice, cancelling the debt against sinners by taking their full punishment upon Himself. Three days later, He rose from the dead, defeating sin and death, earning eternal life for all those who trust in Him. Through His love and mercy, Jesus satisfied God’s justice and is the only way to peace, assurance, forgiveness, and salvation. To be reconciled to God, you must repent and trust that Jesus died for your sins. Your sins will be forgiven, God will see you as perfect in Christ, and God the Holy Spirit will make you a new creation with a redeemed soul for eternity, and redeemed reasoning NOW. The only answer and only hope in this life and the next is Christ Jesus.
