God's Truth
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Matthew 24:14  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The gospel Jesus proclaimed is to be preached in all the world only for a witness to all nations before the end of the present age—not to convert them! Most who hear the true gospel do not really understand it or the way to salvation. God's truth is spiritual knowledge, and spiritual knowledge cannot be transmitted naturally to a mortal human mind (I Corinthians 2:11-14). Spiritual truth is revealed by God! None can receive it, though their ears hear the words, or their eyes see them (Matthew 13:14), except as God opens their understanding and reveals the truth to them by His Holy Spirit. Staff Is This the Only Day of Salvation?

John 8:43-47  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) The fact that these people were not hearing God's Word was proof that they were not of God. That is all Jesus needed to prove that they were not of God. He did not need to see any action. All He needed was to know that they were rejecting the truth of God, because a person who is of God is predisposed to accept it. John W. Ritenbaugh The Holy Spirit and the Trinity (Part 3)

2 Timothy 1:13-14  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) He tells Timothy—and every Christian—to hold to the standards that the apostle had delivered to him. And, he says, the only way to keep the doctrines is both to live it and proclaim it with faith and love. Paul is concerned, not just about the truth, but also about how it is preserved, in faith and love. Regarding keeping the deposit through God's Holy Spirit, The Expositor's Bible Commentary states, "It has been well said that the Holy Spirit is the great Conservator of orthodoxy" (vol. 11, p. 397). In other words, a person led by and using the Spirit of God will not turn away from the teaching delivered by the apostles. John W. Ritenbaugh Guard the Truth!
