“My Word is TRUTH,” says the LORD.

“I will perform MY WORD!  My Word is righteous, and it is holy.  I cannot do anything that is not right and will never contradict My Word.

“My Word and Will and Work and Way are always in agreement.  I will NOT withhold any good thing from you!

“GOOD is MY WORD, and I Am good for it!  I will never give you anything that is not right!  Trust in My wisdom!  Trust that My understanding is infinite!

“Trust in MY knowledge that fills the earth!  I AM all-knowing, ever-present, all-wise, and all-powerful.

“I will not give you anything that is harmful, nor will I violate My Truth that endures forever,” says the LORD.

“I am calling you to trust in ME at all times,” says the LORD.

“Trust that I AM your EVERLASTING FATHER, that loves you unconditionally.  Trust that I Am with you, always, on your side, and will never compromise you!

“I will never put you in harm’s way, and I will never violate My promises to you.  Trust that I AM a GOD of justice and Judgment, and I do ALL THINGS WELL.

“Wait on Me.  Place all your hope in Me, and believe that I AM working on your behalf,” says the LORD.

Their letters may be categorized as ‗individual’ because they were predominantly sent to represent the letter-writer as a person, not as part of an institution. Furthermore, this exchange of letters must be seen against the background of frequent mutual visits and meetings. Therefore, a development in the nature of the relationship may be discerned in the letters starting from rather formal and respectful contacts in the beginning, evolving into an intimate but still respectful friendship by the end of the correspondence. The letters show a certain ‗informalization’ as the correspondence progresses in time. A comparison between the correspondence of the two Malay writers may show some interesting differences in the status and nature of the relationship they had with the same European recipient. These letters are, therefore, also an important source for the description of the Malay tradition of letter-writing in Riau in the mid-nineteenth century.

JESUS IS THE WORD
The Word is TRUTH
The Truth makes you FREE.

The Christian who knows and receives this TRUTH, walks in Freedom and lives a life of passion for JESUS!

I believe that sometimes when I find that I have lost passion for Christ, I have been basing my failures and my mistakes to Gods level of LOVE for me.

What a lie from the PIT!
This lie condemns me, and paralyzes me with GUILT!
And isn’t it true that’s where satan wants us? He wants to keep us from KNOWING TRUTH! Because he knows what it can do.

We never act more like orphans then when we receive those lies and live in them!
We say to ourselves:

“I am just not good enough, I have failed so many times”
“I probably should let God cool off, He is mad at me”.

Maybe it’s not that we are living in sin, but we believe that we are not doing enough for God?
We say to ourselves:

“If I do this or that for God, He will love me more, He will approve of me, to pour His love on me.”
“If I try harder, work more for God, maybe I will have more passion, and He will want to spend time with me.”

Now, we may not verbally say these things, but we perceive them as truth in our hearts. When they are far from HIS WORD!

John 17:17 “Sanctify them through Thy Truth, THY WORD IS TRUTH.”

We MUST get in HIS WORD!
Let this TRUTH wash over you even now:

Romans 8:35,37-39
35 Who shall separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that LOVED us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!
Not even YOU, or ME!
BELOVED, you CAN NOT change Gods mind about you! You can not deplete His LOVE for you!

John 7:31-36
Then said JESUS to those Jews who believed on Him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD ye are my disciples indeed, and Ye SHALL KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE!”

Don’t stray.. STAY!
Continue in His WORD! Know it! Walk in it! Live in it!
Know what His WORD says about you!
So WHO ARE YOU BELOVED?
Because of JESUS: (the WORD)

You are chosen!
You are wanted!
You are redeemed!
You are loved!
YOU ARE FREE!
When we live IN TRUTH, and live IN THE WORD! We will live IN FREEDOM!
Receive THAT!!!! 🙌

How do we know that the Bible is true?  If we are to look at the Bible as a whole, how can we defend what is there?  The Bible consists of 66 books written in three different languages (Hebrew in the Old Testament and Greek and some Aramaic in the New Testament), written on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe), spanning about 1500 years, and consisting of about 40 authors.  However even with that much diversity in years, culture, backgrounds, generations, and languages, I truly believe that the Bible is inerrant—meaning without any error.  I believe that it is also inspired by God.  But how do we know that?  And how do we know that all of the books are true?  One of the bigger arguments is that of the apostles.  Who is qualified to be an apostle?

Before I begin I would like for you to identify what is your authority baseline.  If you say that you are the authority in your life, what happens when you go astray?  And if you say that history or perhaps government is your authority, for the most part it is sound, or science is sound and that is your authority for things in life.  What I am getting at is that when your authority in life is something that man is the headship then you will undoubtedly go astray at some point in your life.  However if you keep the Bible as your authority, since God is the author of the Bible, you will not go astray if you allow Him to be the authority of your life. 

First of all, scripture tells us that the scriptures are true.  One of my most favorite scripture is “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”.  (2 Tim 3:16)   So we know that it was God who breathed out the scriptures; He gave life to the scriptures.  He inspired man to write down His words into what we know as the Bible today, but it was Him through the Holy Spirit who gave man the words that He wanted to be written down.  When we say that it is inspired by God, we must not look at it like we say artists or musicians are inspired to create art or music.  It is God the Father who directed mortal man to write scripture by means of the Holy Spirit.  We also know that is against God’s character to lie.  He CANNOT lie.  (Titus 1:2, Heb 6:18)  So now that we know that it was God who breathed out the scriptures and that God cannot lie because it is against His character then we’re done.  See you next week.  Just kidding!  I would like to give you a bit more ammunition for.  I want you not only to spread the gospel, but to spread it with confidence amongst secularly educated people.  Not only are you commanded to spread the gospel (Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15) but you need to defend it and explain it properly according to His word. (2 Cor 4:2)  It’s important to not only understand the word, but to defend it by using apologetics – which simply means defending the faith.

So what about all of these authors, specifically speaking about the New Testament?  (The New Testament receives the most scrutiny, so I’ll focus on that for now.  The Old Testament will be saved for a later discussion.)  Most of the books in the New Testament were written by apostles.  However, the apostles weren’t the only ones who wrote books in the New Testament.  We know that Matthew was the tax collector and John was one of Zebedee sons (James being the other), who are two of the original twelve apostles.   So that’s two of the four gospels.  But what about Mark and Luke?  And Paul?  Mark studied and traveled with Peter while Luke was with Paul.  Mark and Luke weren’t apostles, but their authority of scriptures goes under Peter and Paul and ultimately God.  As for Paul, he wrote 13 letters also known as Epistles.  Is he an apostle too?  He claims he is but how do we know that he really is?  We need to know what makes an apostle an apostle.  The first qualification of being an apostle is seeing Jesus our Lord after his resurrection with their own eyes – “eyewitness of the resurrection”.  And the second is being commissioned by Jesus as His apostle.  In Acts 1:22, Peter is set out to replace Judas Iscariot and says “one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection” and we also see earlier in Acts, “He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3).  This is a clear identifier of how the apostles were chosen.   Hence we know that Jesus called the twelve:  Peter, Andrew his brother, James and John the son of Zebedee, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot.  (Matt 10:1-4, Mark 3:13, Luke 6:12-16)  Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus and then hangs himself.  (Matt 27:3-8, Acts 1:18-19)  Second Peter picks Matthias to replace Judas.  (Acts 1:12-26)  And third, the other apostles are James (half brother of Jesus), Barnabas and Paul.  Acts 14:14 clearly states that Paul and Barnabas were both apostles while in Gal 1:19 Paul describes James has an apostle, Acts 15:13-21 where James and Peter fill major leader roles in the Jerusalem Council.

In almost every letter Paul claims it in the opening line of his letter.  “Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus” (1 Cor 1:1), “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God” (2 Cor 1:1, Eph 1:1), “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope” (1 Tim 1:1) and in Gal 1:1 “Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead”.  To me it’s clear; Paul claims to be an apostle. 

So you may be still saying “why Paul again?”  First Saul (before he was Paul) was on the road to Damascus and Jesus called out and asked “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” (Acts 9:5–6, Acts 26:15–18).  Jesus was not only asking why Saul was persecuting Him, but His Church.  Saul was having many early Christians killed.  Jesus picked Saul because he was a good man.  Even though he was having the early Christians killed, Saul was holding them to what he knew as true.  He didn’t know Jesus like Peter or John, for example.  He wasn’t one of the first apostles.  Paul most likely knew the Old Testament from memory and since he did not meet the Lord Jesus, he was holding them to what he knew was true.  Saul became Paul because of this “calling out” of his actions.  Paul was instructed by the Holy Spirit for three years (the number three is a number of completeness—the trinity, third day he rose, etc); this was a purification process for Saul in Damascus which interestingly enough was a place where they purified steel to make it strong.  Paul was obviously questioned about his apostleship.  He asks “Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?  If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. (1 Cor 9:1-2)  And Paul confirms all of the apostles and identifies James, Jesus’ brother, by saying “Then he appeared to James then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle” (1 Cor. 15:7–9).  Paul is saying that he is “unfit” because of his actions of the Christians he had killed.  However, keep in mind we do not choose God, but He chooses us (Eph 1:4) and since Paul was chosen then we need to accept him as an apostle.  And for when (I say when because you will) you encounter those who state that Paul could have just claimed that he was an apostle.  We need to look to Peter.  Peter is a main focus of all of the apostles in the gospels.  He is the one who God the Father chose to let him know that Jesus is the Christ (Matt 16:16-17, Mark 8:29) and Jesus says to Peter “on this rock I will build my church” (Matt 16:18).  Jesus was not saying upon this rock that He stood upon; he is referring to Peter.  Peter, as an apostle, confirms Paul’s words as Scripture.  (2 Pet 3:15-17)  The word Scripture used in this passage is the Greek word graphē (Strong’s G1124).  This is the same word in 2 Tim 3:16 (all scriptures are God breathed), Matt 22:29, Mark 12:24, and the other scriptures totaling 51 scriptures.  This word graphē is where we get the word autograph which means self written.

It’s important that we as Christians use the Bible which is the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17) against the enemy.  There are many who oppress and persecute us.  We need to know the scriptures; they are the truth and they carry the authority of the Living God, YAHWEH.  Keep the scriptures as the authority of your life.  It is He who breathed them out for us to learn, take to heart, and to spread His holy word to the world.

God Bless
