The Truth of God!
Genesis 1:1
1In the beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth.
What is truth?
How can we know truth?
In America, for many years we had certain presuppositions which influenced the way life was lived.
The basic presupposition was that there really are such things as “Absolutes.”
We accepted the possibility of an “Absolute” in the area of “being” (or knowledge), and in the area of “morals.”
If anything is true, the opposite is false. If one thing is right, its opposite was wrong.
Today our world is in a “mess” because of the rejection of Biblical absolutes.
The greatest absolute in the entire world is found in Genesis 1:1- In the beginning God…
Without this absolute nothing makes sense.
Man can never understand himself by beginning with himself.
Man can only understand himself by beginning with God.
What every man needs to do is to meet God. God has revealed everything about himself that we need to know to respond to Him in worship.
Worship of God is always limited to our knowledge of Him because we cannot extol Him beyond our concepts of Him.
Many Christians are more interested in the principles of God than in the person of God. They give to God, receive from Him and work for Him, but never enter into a personal relationship with Him.
The purpose, the reason for man’s existence is found in the first commandment of Christ:
Mark 12:30 - And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength.
This truth causes me to know what man is and who I am.
What will you do to get to know Him better?
