Re-Discovering God's Truth in the 21st Century an Exploration of Christian Faith and The Quest for Peaceful Living in Nigerian Society

Abstract

The 21st century has ushered in unprecedented changes driven by rapid technological waves, shifting societal attention from truth. Today the world is battling with issues of globalization, climate change, and social justices. Philosophers and theologians have engaged in academic findings examining human clashes leading to general societal failures altering peaceful coexistence of human race. The quest for Gods truth is paramount today; on this note the paper adopted the qualitative approach to help examine the trajectory of sudden departure of Gods truth. The research discovered that the world is marked by injustices, divisions, conflicts, discord, banditry, corruption, and all types of evils parading in our streets. Therefore, search for this truth has shown the central importance of human dignity with regards to the reality and facts about their divinities. Different studies have often emphasized human clashes and the general failure in the communal and institutional peaceful living. These structural and institutional failures came largely from the negligence, corrupt mindset,
and compromises. Departing from this trajectory, the paper seeks to rediscover God’s truth for the enhancement of peaceful living in our communities. The pursuit of peaceful living in the community is more urgent than ever. At the heart of this research lies a call to rediscover and embrace God’s truth as a guiding light towards unity, understanding, and cohesions among all individuals. This particular study has global significance in solving human crisis that have totally disconnected and alienated Nigerian societies, organizations, and ethnicities from enjoying peaceful coexistence. Seen from this perspective, the study has significant contributions to the discourses on peaceful living, religious differences, protracted enmity, discrimination, and ill-treatments. Similarly, this study enriches the contemporary discourses on honesty, justice and integrity, for if God’s truth is discovered, peaceful coexistence is guaranteed.
