Absolute Truth for all Generations
By: Robert a. Searles
“Make a joyful noise unto the
Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his
presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he
that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the
sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and
into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his
name. For the lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth to all generations.” Psalm 100: 1-5 (KJV)
One generation after another
cannot come along and rightly say that the things of God which were
true for our forefathers are no longer true for us today. God never
changes, he is the same yesterday, today and forever. His law and
his power is immutable. The principles which God gave to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob. And his people, Israel, and the principles which
Jesus taught are as relevant for us today as they were when he
taught them. People are at fault and in gross error when they adopt
the attitude of permissiveness, and situation ethics which is so
prevalent in the world today. God changes not, and he expects his
children not to be given to change as far as believing his truth and
acting upon it is concerned. Just because God has allowed us to have
technological improvements to make us more comfortable and more
effective in serving him; and because he has allowed us to put aside
the horse and mule, as it were and given us automobiles, planes, and
computers instead, in no way implies that God has made of truth
something different from what it always was and still is from
everlasting to everlasting.
We would all do well to abolish the
idea of being “politically correct” and adhere to the teaching,
and being obedient to the absolute truth of the word of God.
God is steadfast and unmovable.
Let us pray that he will keep us rooted and grounded in love and in
truth, and stand our ground against the lies and wiles of the devil.
