Who Is Teaching The Truth? Who Is Teaching The Truth? The apostle Paul, in writing to Timothy, said God "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:4). In Ephesians 5:17, he begs the saints at Ephesus to "not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Well, then, WHO IS RIGHT? Let's begin by saying that only the Bible is right, not men. After all, "I know the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps." (Jeremiah 10:25). HOW CAN I KNOW IF I HAVE THE TRUTH? If only the Bible is right, and we follow only the Bible, then we know we have the truth. We should always follow the example of the Bereans in Acts 17:10-11 who "received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so." Whenever someone spoke about religious matters, they looked it up. Notice that they double-checked the preaching of the apostle Paul, and the Lord praised them for it! WHY SHOULD I FIND OUT THE TRUTH? We should be diligent in finding it out and obeying it, because God's Word is going to judge us in the end. Jesus said in John 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day." Paul says, "we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:10).
Let's put aside all those confusing, contradictory doctrines and begin following only the pure gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments." (1 John 5:3). Jimmy |
