Read: Psalm 119:89-96
Forever, O Lord, Your Word
Someone has written a poem that talks about the
problem of using a spell-checking program on a computer.
The first stanza says:
I have a spelling checker
The words are spelled correctly, but they aren't the
right words to convey the message of the writer. It's
proof positive that if you're looking to the wrong
source for correctness, then you aren't right.
It's like that with matter of faith. It is possible
to trust the wrong source of information about spiritual
things. For instance, there are people who teach that
salvation depends on keeping rituals, performing good
works, joining a church, or being baptized. But they
are wrong. So where can we go for the truth? We need a
perfect, fool-proof source. That source is the Bible.
God's Word says that salvation is by grace through
faith. "It is the gift of God not of works, lest anyone
should boast" (Eph. 2:8-9).
There are so many sources of information today, it's
easy to pick the wrong one. Be sure you carefully check
out what you hear and read about God and eternal life.
The Bible is the only source of what is true and right.
