Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

For the Christian, the ultimate expression of truth is found in the Bible, in Jesus who said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life..." (John 14:6). Of course, most philosophers and skeptics will dismiss His claim, but for the Christian, He is the mainstay of hope, security, and guidance.
Jesus, who walked on water, claimed to be divine, and rose from the dead, said that He was the truth and the originator of truth. If Jesus is wrong, then we should ignore Him. But, if He is right, then it is true that we should listen to Him.
The eyewitnesses wrote what they saw. They were with Him. They watched Him perform many miracles, heal the sick, calm a storm with a command, and even rise from the dead. Either you believe or dismiss these claims. If you dismiss them, that is your prerogative. But, if you accept them, then you are faced with decisions to make about Jesus. What will you believe about Him? What will you decide about Him? Is He true? Is what He said true?
Truth conforms to reality. Jesus performed many miracles and rose from the dead.

The testimony of truth is unmistakable. It is an understanding that surrounds you in peace where ever you may go. Once you find it (or rather have surrendered to it), you will never leave it, except if you did not fully understand when you thought you had. Simply put, you just know in your heart.

"Truth is subjective." It's true: even that quote is SUBJECTIVE. I think truth is not definite; truth is what you personally find to be valid. You might think that that quote at the beginning is untrue; or it might be true. You know you've found truth when you've accepted that "nothing is definite" (including this saying) and you've found something that seems to work in real life.

John 8:31-32
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

A Christian point of view: I know it is a truth from God when I recieve knowledge, or an understanding, that I could never have come up with on my own.

Truth stands up under scrutiny.
Edit: See all those theists asking you to just believe something is true, with absolutely no evidence?

"seek ye first the Kingdom of God" (Matt 6:33)
"the Kingdom of God is at hand" (Matthew 3:2; 4:17)
The Truth is closer than we realize. Become still and love those around you. It's in the palm of your hand. You have the power.
