Plato held among his most important teachings that the search for truth was the main goal of philosophical activity. Aristotle in his book Metaphysics defined philosophy as the science of truth. The search for truth, good and wisdom are fundamental questions in Greek philosophy. But Greek philosophy does not go beyond maintaining that these questions belong basically to the wise man.
The Bible approaches these issues differently. Thomas Aquinas, the father of the scholastic philosophy, explains that truth, wisdom, and good are spiritual gifts, that is, perfections attributable to God, the Lord is the perfection itself. That is why the Bible tells us that these perfections are a grace from God, which he transmits to us to develop his plan. About the truth, the book of Proverbs tells us: "Get the truth and never sell it; also get wisdom, discipline, and good judgment," Proverbs 23:23.
These spiritual assets are the basis of all development for man, what can man usefully build without the knowledge of truth and wisdom? About this, the Bible gives us an interesting thought: "The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down" Proverbs 14:1. Without these gifts, the truth, the wisdom, the discipline, everything we build, beyond external appearances, is weak. Because fortune is like a wheel, as it goes up it also goes down. Passions and selfishness impede correct reasoning and if we do not give ourselves decisively to the wisdom of the creator, sooner or later we are going to see serious problems in our lives: "Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it" Ecclesiastes 7:12.
We do not come into the world knowing the truth, but we have to discover it within ourselves as that hidden treasure that Jesus tells us about in the gospels.
