Who We Stand With

Throughout this series, we’ve explored how logic finds its foundation in the Christian worldview. God’s unchanging, universal, trinitarian nature grounds the truths we rely on every day. But this conversation isn’t just about abstract ideas—it’s about what they reveal about God and why that matters deeply to us.

So where does this leave us? The Christian worldview offers more than intellectual consistency; it speaks to the heart of human existence. Let’s wrap up our discussion of logic by connecting it to one of life’s most profound realities: death.

Logic Points Us to Something Bigger

Logical principles like consistency and truth exist across all cultures and times because they reflect the nature of God. Without God, logic is ungrounded—a mystery we use without understanding why it works.

But how can physical minds be reconciled to the immaterial realm of logic? How can we, as finite humans, connect with the eternal, transcendent source of truth?

Truth and Life Made Personal

This is where the incarnation changes everything. The God who is the necessary foundation of all logic stepped into our broken world as a physical person in Jesus of Nazareth. He didn’t just teach truth—He is truth (John 14:6). He didn’t just point to life—He offers life by conquering death.

In Jesus, truth isn’t abstract; it’s personal. He invites us into a relationship where truth is lived, not just understood. In that relationship, we find answers to our deepest questions—not just about logic, but about life, death, and everything in between.

Death Feels Wrong—And It Should

Even though death is “natural,” we react to it with grief and a sense of wrongness. Why? Because death was never part of God’s original design.

The Christian worldview explains that death entered the world through sin, breaking God’s perfect creation. Deep down, we sense that this isn’t how it was meant to be.

Naturalism, by contrast, tells us death is just part of life. Yet even those who embrace that view grieve as though life should not end. This dissonance points us to the truth: death is an intruder, but it doesn’t have the final word.

Standing With Truth Himself

The same God who grounds logic also speaks to our deepest longings—including our longing for life in the face of death.

Romans 6:23 reminds us: “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Apart from God, the Author of life, we face death. Sin is the choice to turn from God and try to be the authors of our own lives. Since we are not the authors of life, we are not able to construct life. When we make ourselves the authors of our own lives, ultimately, all we compose is death. But through Jesus Christ, God offers reconciliation, life, and love.

As Colossians 1:21-22 says: “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.” Jesus, life Himself, entered the death we created through rebellion, conquered it through His resurrection, and now invites us back into relationship with Himself.

Romans 10:9-10 says: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” To declare Jesus as Lord is to choose His way of life over our own—to walk in His love, truth, and fullness. He promises to empower us by His Spirit to grow into His grace and love.

And what’s more, as His followers, we become His physical body on earth, called to reflect His love and goodness to a world in need.

If you’re ready to step into this relationship, take a moment to pray. Acknowledge where you’ve walked away from God, ask Him to lead you. Choose to follow Jesus. If you’ve made this decision, share it with a pastor or Christian friend. They can walk with you as you take your first steps as a disciple.

Conclusion

This series began with a simple question: Why? Why does logic make sense? Why do we trust it to guide us toward truth? As we’ve explored these questions, the answer has become clear: logic, truth, and life all find their source in God. But the Christian faith doesn’t stop there—it invites us into something even deeper. It invites us into relationship with the God who made Himself known, stepping into our world to bring life, love, and hope.

Death doesn’t have the final word. Truth Himself stepped into history to redeem and restore all that was lost.

We don’t just stand on truth. We stand with Truth. And that changes everything.
