We now live in a time where we cannot trust what anyone says is true. Isn’t that sad? What’s even sadder is that we can no longer take what is even preached out of the pulpit as being true to the Bible. Preachers twist the Scriptures in order to serve themselves. Take Joel Osteen, for example. I do not follow him but have seen interviews with him. How sad that he does not point the unbeliever to Christ! So how can anyone really know that they are reading and hearing the truth when they go to church or open a Bible? With what and/or how do we measure the truth? These are all vital questions and there are answers!
In order to become a doctor, one must learn from books written by scientists and doctors. They trust that what they are reading and learning are true because of the authenticity of those authors. In the Christian faith, the standard of truth is the Bible. We know this because Jesus Christ Himself quoted the Scriptures throughout His ministry. In fact, He said:
~John 10:35b … the scripture cannot be broken;
Christ laid the foundation for truth to His disciples and pointed them to it. Jesus is qualified to do so because He is the Word of God, made flesh, so He could convey those words to man. Throughout Christ’s ministry, those words were revealed and recorded by men through the power of His Holy Spirit.
~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.
Christ also prayed that His disciples would be set apart and grounded in this truth, then He pointed them to what was considered to be the truth.
~John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
God’s Word is not only the truth but it contains the only truth for anyone who wishes to find it. Anything else is a forgery or a knock off.
The world thinks that people who read the Bible, and live by it, are weird and uninformed. However, the opposite is true. The Bible is so current that prophecy is being fulfilled in front of our very eyes! The world can believe what they want, but our duty is to tell them that what they are seeing in current events was predicted first in the Bible. People want proof so show them the proof!
I have a text file on my computer where I add any current event that has been prophesied. This helps me to remember the Scriptures as they relate to modern-day events. I am able to share these events and point people to the Scriptures as they relate to what is happening. Once I have their interest, I am able to share the Gospel.
Salvation is a choice. Exactly what have you got to lose if you choose salvation? You will go to Heaven at the Rapture or at your death if you are saved. If you believe the lie that God would not send anyone to Hell, then you will go there. God is a righteous Judge and He will send you there, but only because it was your choice. If you want to choose salvation, please follow the link to walk you through the Scriptures on how to be saved.
