How Do We Know God Is True?

 Introduction:

Knowing the truth about God is a fundamental quest for many people seeking spiritual understanding and a deeper connection with the divine. In this teaching, we will explore key aspects and Bible verses that provide evidence and assurance of God's truth and existence.


1. Revelation in Nature:

One way we can know God is true is through the natural world around us. The intricate design, order, and beauty of creation point to a Creator. Romans 1:20 (NIV) affirms this:

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made so that people are without excuse."


2. Divine Inspiration of Scripture:

The Bible is considered God's Word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and reveals the truth about God and His plans for humanity. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) states:

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."


3. Fulfilled Prophecies:

The Bible contains numerous prophecies that have been accurately fulfilled over time, providing evidence of God's divine knowledge and sovereignty. One striking example is the prophecy about Jesus' crucifixion in Psalm 22:16-18 (NIV):

"Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment."


4. Changed Lives and Testimonies:

The transformative power of God's truth is evident in the lives of countless believers who have experienced spiritual renewal and positive change. Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) describes the fruits of the Spirit:

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law."

5. Historical Evidence:

Archaeological findings and historical records corroborate events and places mentioned in the Bible, lending credibility to its authenticity. For example, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls provided valuable insights into ancient scriptural texts.


6. Personal Experience and Relationship with God:

Through prayer, worship, and personal encounters, individuals can experience God's presence and guidance. Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV) emphasizes the importance of seeking God wholeheartedly:

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."


7. Testimony of Jesus Christ:

Jesus' life, teachings, death, and resurrection serve as a significant testimony to the truth of God's existence and His love for humanity. John 14:6 (NIV) highlights Jesus' role in revealing God's truth:

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"


Conclusion:

Knowing that God is true and real is a matter of faith, reason, and personal experience. The evidence from creation, fulfilled prophecies, the transformative power of God's truth, and the historical authenticity of Scripture all point to a loving and living God. As we seek Him with open hearts, study His Word, and experience His presence, we can find the truth that brings meaning and purpose to our lives. May our faith be strengthened as we continue to explore and grow in our understanding of the One who is the source of all truth and goodness.

The Holy Spirit

  The Holy Spirit is a central figure in Christian theology and is considered the third person of the Trinity alongside the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is believed to be the source of divine power and guidance, and is associated with a number of teachings in the Bible and Christian theology.   Here is an outline of some of the main teachings related to the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a person: Although the Holy Spirit is often referred to as an "it," Christian theology teaches that the Holy Spirit is a personal being with its own consciousness, will, and emotions. The Holy Spirit is God: Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is fully God, just like the Father and the Son. This belief is based on passages in the Bible that refer to the Holy Spirit as divine, such as Acts 5:3-4, where Ananias lies to the Holy Spirit and is said to have lied to God. The Holy Spirit is the giver of life: The Holy Spirit is associated with the creation of the world and the ongoing...
