Truth theories are numerous in contemporary philosophy. The ideas of W.V.O. Quine are illuminating on that subject.
If truth is confirmation of a hypothesis or assertion, then often one finds truth. Yet language values for axiology (truth theory) are variables and the difficulty in finding things true in all circumstances.
The Universe is temporal and that is probably why the idea occurred to Plato of timeless 'forms' or truth objects as if he would think today that quarks or a Higgs bosun is some immutable substance.
Ultimately among the numerous theories of truth one arrives at a postulation that God is the logical Truth value and all concepts relative to God that could have more than disquotation or concurrence with temporal postulations. That is probably not written very simply. I mean that the fundamental source of all things that are not contingent and relative is God. Obviously one would need to have faith in God to believe that.
