God's Word Does Not Change
Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations; You established the earth, and it stands fast. Psalm 119:89-90
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35
We live in a politically correct age, and we want to change God's word. I wonder how fair that would be to the generations past that obtained righteousness by obeying and living according to the word of God. I do not believe we have the right to change the meaning of God's principles to please ourselves. I know through the years our understanding has been increased, I know I believe much differently today than I did thirty years ago. We mature and grow in our understanding, but never do we have the right to change what God's word says. I remember the days I was taught this is the true church and I believed it. I also remember praying for a vision of God's Church. I wanted a personal vision, but that vision did not come to me the same as it was preached to me. I wondered why, why can't I see this the same as it was taught to me? Today I see where the church I was raised in does not teach that they are the exclusive church of God and claim that was never one of their doctrinal beliefs. I understand now why my vision never came as they taught in that day.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13
God promised that he would lead us into all truth. The word does not change, but our growth and understanding of the word does change. My hope and prayer is that it draws me closer to my savior. That I will look more and more like my heavenly Father as the years pass. God bless, LVZ.
