It is true that if an airplane, God forbid, loses a wing, that airplane will cease to fly and come, along with its occupants, to a bad end. There are absolute truths we must recognize every day in the moral sense as well. Ignoring them has bad results as well.
Christians believe absolute truth is just that, absolute, and that it is embodied in the One we worship. By aligning ourselves with this person, Christ, we can avoid the miseries that eventually consume those who think they can make their own truth and command a good destiny for themselves, in and of themselves.
And, if the Lord tarries, long after the worldview of truth being relative has done its part in the continuing decline of global civilization, and has faded from the philosophical scene, Christians will absolutely continue to reap the benefits of living by truth and truth alone.
“Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.” John 17:17 ESV
