Truth and fact are sometimes used
interchangeably but they are not the same!
Truth is evidenced-reality, and
fact is evidence. Truth is timeless; it cannot change irrespective of time.
Fact is subject to time, and therefore subject to change. Truth, unlike fact,
can always be proved. All truths are based on God’s Word because the Word of
God is Revealed Truth. Not all facts are based on God’s Word. Most facts are
scientifically-based; others are simply religious. For instance, that the earth
is a circle or spherical in shape is a revealed truth. Formerly, it was once a
fact that the earth was a square until Galileo, one of the same breed, came on
the scene and said nope. Also, it is a celebrated fact today that the human
immune deficiency virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome has no
cure because a formal announcement of a cure (in form of a capsule, tablet, or
syrup) has not been made and accepted. The present-hour reality or truth is
that HIV has got a cure! The Word of God! (See Proverbs 4: 20-22; Mark 16: 18; 1
Peter 1: 23; 1 Peter 2: 24; Isaiah 33: 24; Hebrews 4: 12). In short, the
Christian is the medic.
