Grounded in Truth

Truth is constant. Truth does not vary from one person to the next and it does not change with the circumstance. Truth is like a tree with deep roots. The winds of change may blow strong against it but that tree does not move an inch, and when the storm passes by, the tree is still there. The Lord’s great desire for the church is that we “no longer be children tossed to and fro and carried about by every wind of doctrine,” but that we would be so grounded in the truth that we would remain steadfast when the winds of change pass by. How do we get those deep roots? There are two ways the truth of God’s word takes root in the believer. First, God “gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pas-tors and teachers...that we should no longer be tossed to and fro…” (Ephesians 4:11-15). In other words, God sat up a teaching program for the church so each member could be grounded in truth. Second, God commands each member to study for ourselves. We must study to show ourselves approved unto God (2 Timothy 2:15). Spiritual roots grow deep when personal desire drives us to study and when we spend time with Godly teachers of His word (Psalm 1:1-6). We hope to see you in Bible class each week.

THEOLOGICAL TERM OF THE WEEK

Propitiation:

The action of causing to become favorably inclined, to win or regain good will, to pacify, to appease or conciliate through offerings or

sacrifices. Used in relation to the wrath of God directed toward sinful man that was poured out on Jesus Christ in His death on the cross, thus satisfying the payment of death required of all sinners, by God. Jesus was the perfect offering

(propitiation) that satisfied the payment required for the sins committed by humanity.
