“Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?” 1 Corinthians 1;20.
As we have seen in our survey of epistemologies without God. When you reject his existence you lose all wisdom. Without God the world is irrational and there are no facts to be found in an impersonal world. As Calvin said, “How can man survey himself if there is know interpretation for his existence”. Man is left in the void of random chance.
But because this world is rational and Gods existence establishes its rationality there is an interpretation to reality. Creation speaks out drawing man to look behind the facts of nature to see the mind of God uniting all the facts together into a unity of truth. God speaks in Creation and in his Word. For the Word became flesh and manifested his light (eternal revelation to the world) to the world for understanding. As the Word spoke (Jesus), his words latter become to be recorded in the Bible. The words of Jesus the eternal Word.
Jesus made it clear, that he was the “Way” the “Truth” and the “Life”! He was the Way, meaning that flowing him lead to life and meaning. He was the Truth meaning he was the eternal guide to reality, the true interpretation on all things as all things came from him. He was the Life, meaning that in him and his interpretation one would be able to survey their existence and understand there place in the universe to reap abundant life.
His Word, his interpretation is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
