SAA Notes
Let us forsake profitless speculation about the end times or the millennium. Christians waste much time over this. Such speculation only titillates our pride or frightens us silly. How does the Apostle’s advice in verse 15 apply today?
SJA Notes
* Dear God, may Your word speak truth to us today.
“… And with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.”
It is TRUTH that is at the heart of belief (and unbelief).
Either you accept and love the truth (God’s word is truth), or you reject it, refuse to love it.
How important is truth?
“… Because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.”
Truth is of absolute primary importance.
We either believe in the truth of God, who He is, what He has done, what He tells us – Or we do not believe.
There is no middle ground.
Remember Jesus’ words in John 14,
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
We are to believe in Jesus, God in the Person of the Son – to love Him, for He is truth.
* God Above,
You word is truth.
You sent Your Son to earth, Your word become flesh.
Jesus is truth.
May we love the truth and so be saved.
Amen.
