D&C 93:24 says: “And truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come;”
This grand principle is not generally known among mankind. In grade eleven, I had a teacher who defined truth as the accepted beliefs of how things are. She talked about how truth was subject to change as mankind learned more about the universe around them.
If this is the case, what principles ought we to build our lives upon? According to this definition, even truth cannot be relied upon because it may change.
I am grateful for the knowledge that truth is unchanging; it is more than a belief or opinion. While we do not have a perfect knowledge of the truth, God does. That is why we can trust in Him to guide us in this life.
In the tempest of changing opinions and beliefs in the world around us, we can always look to the lighthouse of God’s word, which guides us according to the absolute and unchanging truth.
