If the Bible is the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God as it claims, it and it alone is the final authority and standard of living.
Truth is not always the opinion of men, great philosophers or the teachings of great religious leaders.
The Bible teaches about God, the creation of man, sin, salvation, good, evil, the family, etc. If I can't trust God in Genesis 1:1, then I can't trust Him in John 3:16.
Truth is the difference between right and wrong and saved and lost.
If you accept God's truth in your life, you have the right standard of living and a reason to live.
If you reject these truths, the Bible is still true and Jesus is still the only way to God and eternal life is still for those who believe.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.
