TOPIC: IMPLICATION OF DEVIATION FROM BIBLICAL TRUTH
TEXT: GALATIANS 1: 6-12
TUESDAY MAY 23rd
Key Verse: Titus 1: 9, ‘Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.’
God wants us to be a debtor to the truth and be ready to preach it everywhere without fail and change. Paul was committed to this truth because he knew without a doubt that it was true. It came to him by revelation and he knew that it must not change because it is the perfect truth. He warns the people against deviation and never to be removed from it. We are admonished to hold fast to these faithful words as we have been taught, that we may be able by this sound doctrine to exhort and convince the gainsayers. Holding firm the word of truth, without changing, perverting, or diluting it. Preachers that are moving from church to church for money: they are preaching not for eternal salvation. They are established as a company or a business center to make money. We should not deviate by submitting ourselves to them. They lack vision, so they and the people under them perish. Under them, there is no progress in your Christian life; you were in the hands of sinners and vain talkers.
It’s easy to divert: different churches call you with another voice. Come and take this or that, the oil, the cloth, etc. You will have deviated from the truth. They trouble you with their false teachings, saying faith is not enough. They twist the scriptures and turn it around to suit themselves. They confuse the teachings of Christ's order in Baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, saying its in Jesus Name; they argue that the natural hair cannot be plaited, they argue to defend the worldly practice of women wearing trousers, makeup, weave on; they teach and defend second marriage. The implication is that they are cursed. The judgment of God will overtake them. Anyone who deviates from Biblical truth will lose their place because they are damning souls to hell. They are like the Pharisees who want to shut you out of heaven; preaching heresy. Be careful to commit the word of life to faithful men, who are willing to preach the truth.
Thought for the day: Ancient words, ever true; changing me and changing you
Song for the day: I will never, never go back to the world.
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 8-10; John 8:37-59
