What is the Truth about salvation? from Compelling Truth
During one of the sham trials Jesus was subjected to before He was crucified, Pontius Pilate asked Him, “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Pilate asked the question mockingly. Pilate did not really care what the truth was and would not have believed it if Jesus had revealed it to him. But Pilate’s question is one that we must all wrestle with. What is the Truth about salvation? What is the truth about God? What is the truth about Jesus? What is the truth about salvation? To ignore these questions is foolish. To be misled on these questions is dangerous. To have the true answers to these truth questions is crucial.

God exists (Psalm 14:1). God created the universe and everything in it, including humanity (Genesis 1:1).

The truth about humanity
God created us to have a personal relationship with Him. God created us with the ability to choose good and evil, and we chose evil. We have all sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). Because of our sin, we deserve death, not just physical death, but eternal death, because our sin is ultimately against an eternal God (Romans 6:23). There is absolutely nothing we can do to rectify our relationship with God on our own (Romans 3:10-18).
