1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is
laid, which is Jesus Christ.
In construction, if a beam is one degree out of level it is
no longer true. There is no tolerance
for this measure. The beam is either
true or it is not true.
The world would like to teach us that there are many ways to
heaven besides accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. It is sad to say that Satan has done a
remarkable job selling this line of thinking, putting a large portion of
mankind in danger of missing the way, the truth and the life that is only found
in Jesus.
We Christians must be extremely careful not to bend the Word
of God to fit today's culture. The Word
of God is the truth. God's Word is the
same today as it was yesterday and as it will be tomorrow. Jesus Christ alone is the firm, abiding and
immovable Rock of Ages. In every way, He
is able to bear all the weight of the sins of mankind that has been placed upon
Him. He alone can bear this load. He alone is the trustworthy foundation. Anyone who sets their foundation elsewhere
will find nothing but destruction in their future.
Making God's Word more pleasing to others is not being
tolerant. It is abandoning what is
true. More importantly, massaging God's
Word to make it more acceptable to the world endangers the eternal lives of
those that we may be trying to appease.
Let us stand firm on the Word of God. Let us make the way, the truth and the life, Jesus Christ, our foundation. Let us boldly proclaim the promises that only He can deliver.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You that Your Word is true and
that Your promises are certain. May You
open our hearts to receive the fullness and truth in the precepts that You
reveal to us through Your Holy Word. May
You embolden us to speak the truth about Your Son as the world around us
rejects Him. May You strengthen us to
stand firmly on the foundation that only He provides. We ask all these things in the name of the way,
the truth and the life, Jesus Christ.
