Absolutes

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. - 2 Timothy 3:16


Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans. - Psalm 119:91



Imagine if everyone did whatever they wanted. It wouldn't be long before total chaos and anarchy would take over. There must be some rules, and some laws that people must follow in order for any society to function well. And with those rules come complaints, divisions, and hatred by those who do not want to comply. Why is that? Is it because we feel we will lose or have lost a sense of freedom. We have all heard at some point and time, "If God loves me, why does He give me all these laws? It's hard to keep." How have you answered that question spiritually?

Realistically, there must be some absolute truths set in place from the beginning of time. These truths must apply to all people in all times and all places. Know that God promises when people live by these absolutes, which are found in His Word, individual lives will function better. Society as whole will be a place of order and peace.


Song: We Limit Not The Truth Of God

We limit not the truth of God
To our poor reach of mind,
By notions of our day and sect,
Crude, partial, and confined.
No, let a new and better hope
Within our hearts be stirred:

Refrain
The Lord hath yet more light and truth
To break forth from His Word.


O Father, Son, and Spirit, send
Us increase from above;
Enlarge, expand all Christian souls
To comprehend Thy love,
And make us to go on, to know
With nobler powers conferred:


Could you make a list of ten absolute truths you should be living by?
