THE TRUTH vs. SATAN’S ANCIENT LIES
I Timothy 3:15
Have you ever wondered what we look like from Heaven, as God looks down on us as we gather?
Please open with me to I Timothy 3:15.
God designed His Church to be pillars, grounded in truth as God’s household living on earth; but that truth is under assault –and God has said the war against truth will intensify as the world nears its final hour.
We have gathered as Christ’s Church. We are members of God’s household and part of His family, and our purpose is to uphold by what we live and say God’s Truth as recorded in the Bible. Please stand as we listen to God describing us this evening:
1 Timothy 3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God [lit. ‘household’], which is the church of the living God, the pillar [Timothy was pastoring in Ephesus that had the Wonder of the World, Temple of Diana (Artemis) with 127 gold covered columns] and ground [only here in N.T. and means foundation] of the truth. NKJV
We are to know, believe, live, and proclaim the truth as Christ’s church. We are indwelt by the Spirit of Truth and hold a copy of the inspired Word of Truth. Note what Paul said in v. 15 “how you ought to conduct yourself”.
Just as God is Love, and is Holy, and is Righteous, so also God is TRUTH. Truth is defined by our dictionaries as:
Truth: “conformity to fact or actuality; proven to be or accepted as true; reality; actuality; often the truth is defined as that which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.” (The American Heritage Dictionary)
Our God is a
God of Truth
We worship a God who calls Himself the God of Truth (Deut. 32:4; Psalm 31:5).
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He. NKJV
We trust a Savior, God the Son who calls himself The Truth (John 14:6), and came to us full of grace and Truth (John 1:14, 17).
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. NKJV
We are indwelt by God the Spirit, who calls Himself the Spirit of Truth (John 14:17; 15:26; 16:13).
John 14:17 “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. NKJV
We read and study God’s Word which is called the Word of Truth (Psalm 119:43); and as God’s children are called followers of the Way of Truth (Psalm 119:30); because we were born again by the Word of Truth (Eph. 1:13; James 1:18; I Peter 1:22).
