The world has rejected Truth. Postmodern thinking says that there is no "true truth" or "Truth with a capital 'T.'" Think about that for a second. If there is no absolute truth, then it's not absolutely true that there is no Truth. Is that bonkers or what?! Nevertheless, people believe it.
By saying that there is no Truth, they reject God's Word (John 17:17b "...Thy Word is Truth."). By rejecting God's Word, they reject Christ (John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."). By rejecting Christ, they reject God (John 10:30 "I and the Father are One."). By rejecting God, they become fools (Psalm 14:1a "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.'").
No wonder God says in Isaiah 55:8 "My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways." God doesn't think like we do. In v. 9, He reveals to us that His thoughts and ways are superior to ours. In v. 10, God tells us that without His Word, there is no life. So if you reject God's Word, you reject life; which means that anyone who hasn't accepted God's Word is dead in their sin, but I have wonderful news: God raises the dead! The dead to sin are not without hope, because if you put your faith in Christ, let go of any claims to righteousness or goodness, and turn your life around to focus it on serving God and bringing Him glory, then your sin will die with Christ on that old rugged Cross, and you will be raised with Him alive and ready for a relationship with your Heavenly Father.
