AM I HEARING THE TRUTH?
When a person is looking for a church to attend and worship God, that
person should never assume that he or she is hearing the truth. Our Lord
said in Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets!” They are everywhere,
telling every lie known to man! So how can I know whether I’m hearing
the truth or a lie? We all must ask ourselves two questions: Am I
hearing God’s word? and Who is getting the glory in salvation? Is
salvation up to me or did Christ finish it alone?
THE TRUTH is: Christ did it all! (Hebrews 1:3). Christ has already
finished it all! (John 19:30). And Christ gets all the glory for
salvation! (1 Corinthians 1:31). If a man is not preaching THAT, he’s
not preaching the word of God. And if he’s not preaching the word of
God, he’s a false prophet!
It’s not: THIS is what we believe… and THAT is what they believe…
THE TRUTH is not dependent on what any of us believe! The only thing
that matters is: What has God Almighty said in His word? THE TRUTH is
not an opinion about the word… THE TRUTH is THE WORD ITSELF! “let God
be true, but every man a liar!” (Romans 3:4)
