Truth Seeker

When we think about the differences among the religions of the world, it becomes understandable these differences live because they teach different doctrines. The primary thing that we tend to look at is God; and we are affected into one of three conclusions in that regard. There is no God, so there is no complete pattern of truth and wrong; or there is a God, but either it doesn't matter to Him, who believes what, or He hasn't indicated what He needs; or there is a God, there is an absolute standard which has been announced, and it does matter to Him what people believe.

Most people question about this conclusion, but few follow it to where it leads, feeling comfortable with their own beliefs and traditions, fearing that an additional search might lead to the desertion of those beliefs and traditions. The fear is acceptable, but the abandonment of the search is not. If one's beliefs are not in accordance with God's pattern, then they must be abandoned in help of His will. 

Even an informal reading of the New Testament shows that one does not have to be a theologian to form out that Jesus received no compromise with consider to the truth. Think about some of His words:

Of Him, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6).

Of judgment, Jesus said in (John 8:24) "I told you that you would die in your sin; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."

Of truth and salvation, Jesus said, “Ask, and it shall be given to you; Seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door will be opened to you” (Matt. 7:7), and yet five verses later He says, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only few find it.” (Matt. 7:13–14).

One can simply end that while truth is reachable, it must be wanted after, and only some care to seek.
