What does it mean to be human? It means we are created in the image of God for the glorious reality of being in permanent fellowship with Him.
The Biblical world-view is the only one that accepts the reality of evil and suffering while giving both the cause and the purpose, while offering God-given strength and sustenance in the midst of it.
The first and foremost reality is that suffering and death are not only enemies of life, but a means of reminding us of life's twin realities, love and hate.
Truth is that which affirms propositionally the nature of reality as it is.
