| | '''Truth''' is one of the fundamental building blocks of [[reality]]. One could probably say that without truth, nothing could exist. In fact, not only is truth a fundamental building block of reality, but it is also a central character trait and attribute of the one who is in control of all things, namely [[God]] himself. Jesus Christ, the second Person of the [[Trinity|triune God]], proclaimed about himself in John 14:6, "...I am the way, and the <u>truth</u>, and the life...". From that verse and others, we can conclude that truth is not something external to God himself, but is rather something that is inextricably joined and a part of His Being. | | '''Truth''' is one of the fundamental building blocks of [[reality]].

| | Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as [[deceit]] or [[corruption]]. [[Christian]]s in particular uphold Truth as a desirable value, since it is something taught by the [[Bible]], and [[Jesus]] himself. | | Truth can be considered to be a morally desirable trait in a person, since it the antithesis of "undesirable" traits such as [[deceit]] or [[corruption]].
