Be true to the Scriptures
May 16, 2025
‘If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.’ Isaiah 8:20 NKJV
The Bible is the inspired and the infallible Word of God. Proverbs 30:6 warns us, ‘Do not add to His words Or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar’ (NASB20). Think about it: who told the first lie ever recorded? Satan. In the garden of Eden, he convinced Eve it was okay to eat the forbidden fruit, and that God didn’t really mean what He said. And he is still peddling the same old lie! You hear it in comments like these:
1) ‘You can interpret the Bible many different ways.’ That sounds reasonable until you read this: ‘But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture becomes a matter of someone's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God’ (2 Peter 1:20-21 NASB20). Isaiah said, ‘… If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them’ (Isaiah 8:20 NKJV). Two and two must make four; otherwise, we’re all open to each other’s interpretations and value judgements—and somebody is going to get the short end of the stick. 2) ‘It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you’re sincere.’ What if you’re sincerely wrong? If a doctor prescribes the wrong medication, it could kill you rather than cure you. 3) ‘Rather than offend someone, you should say nothing.’ If that person’s house were on fire, wouldn’t you warn them in order to save their life? Before He was betrayed, Jesus said, ‘All ye shall be offended because of me this night’ (Mark 14:27 KJV). The truth hurts, but it heals, so let’s be true to the Scriptures.
