Word from Nairnshire
by Sandy Shaw
“Hear me out” were the words of an experienced teacher who had been searching over many years for spiritual reality. On he went, “I have problems with Christians holding onto what I consider to be non-essentials, such as the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection.”
What a conversation resulted as we discussed these central truths.
Truth is important. We read that the church of the living God is the pillar and foundation of truth.
Truth matters because the heart of what we believe is at stake.
If we depart from truth, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is perverted and the mission of the church is perverted.
Where there is an abandonment of the truth of God as revealed in the Scriptures there arises widespread biblical illiteracy.
The rejection of truth leads to ethical and moral confusion. Our western society is presently suffering the consequences of tragic decisions.
Without a sound solid reliable basis for morality, no moral consensus can be reached. Human rights and responsibilities, once seen as given by God, now lack any authoritative reference.
When the God of the Bible is rejected, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God and Father of Jesus Christ, people choose a new god. It is not that people no longer worship, but they no longer worship the living God, and all kinds of painful circumstances arise, many of which could have been avoided.
If the Christian Faith is not the truth, it is nothing!
Jesus Christ came as the champion of truth and of those on the side of truth.
Those who have sided with Jesus and followed the risen living Jesus over the years have found Him to be utterly reliable and faithful. After all, He is the truth and the only way to God.
