Re-digging Old Wells Genesis 26:18

We Can Know The Truth John 8:32 Jesus says we can know the truth Some say there is no truth Some say we cannot know the truth Whom do we believe?

There are a number of New Testament passages that teach we can know the truth (Eph. 3:4; 5:17; 1 Tim. 3:15; 4:3; 1 Jn. 2:21; 4:6) Some passages may be difficult 2 Peter 3:16 says so That doesn’t mean it is impossible to know

We Must Preach The Whole Truth Acts 20:27 Some suggest….…we should “accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative”.…we should “connect more” with young people and the unchurched

The Bible teaches the need to preach all of the truth (Acts 20:20) All the truth must be preached to be true faith Faith comes from the word (Rom. 10:17) We must preach the word (2 Tim. 4:2-4)

We Must Contend For The Faith Jude 3 Some are “shy” for confrontation Paul says to be “… appointed for the defense of the gospel” (Phil. 1:16) He also says to strive for the gospel (Phil. 1:27) We must remember we are in a fight (1 Tim. 6:12)

We Must Not Be Like The World Romans 12:1-2 We live in the world and must defend against its influence Jesus warned against worldliness (Matt. 13:22) John warned against worldliness (1 John 2:15-17) Loving the world can be disastrous (2 Tim. 4:10)

We Must Be Committed To The Word Acts 20:32 Such a commitment will safeguard those in the faith (re. Acts 20:29-30) Such a commitment will save those who will believe it (Acts 11:14)
